True or False: The government can raise its tax revenue by increasing the per-unit tax on wine. True False Consider the deadweight loss generated in each of the following cases: no tax, a tax of $20 per case, and a tax of $40 per case. On the following graph, use the black curve (plus symbols) to illustrate the deadweight loss in these cases. (Hint: Remember that the area of a triangle is equal to x Base x Height. In the case of a deadweight loss triangle found on the graph input tool, the base is the amount of the tax and the height is the reduction in quantity caused by the tax.)

Deadweight Loss (Dollars) Suppose the government wants to tax the good that will generate more tax revenue at a lower welfare cost. In this case, it should tax because, all else held constant, taxing a good with a relatively elastic demand generates larger tax revenue and

Suppose that the local government of Santa Fe decides to institute a tax on seltzer producers. Before the tax, 15 million packs of seltzer were sold every month at a price of $11 per pack. After the tax, 9 million packs of seltzer are sold every month; consumers pay $14 per pack, and producers receive $7 per pack (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a pack of seltzer is $ burden that falls on producers is $ O True per pack. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on consumers. O False per pack. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per pack, and the
Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for champagne, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

You are an economist in the Internal Revenue System and just heard of a plan to increase the sales tax on a certain widget by $.06. Last year customers purchased about 10 million widgets. The demand curve in the last year was such that a $.01 increasein price decreases sales by 100,000. A study showed that a $.01 increase in price resulted in producers willing to provide 50,000 more widgets to the market. Congress stated that this$.06 tax will increase government revenues by $600,000 and raise the price of each widget by $.06. Is this correct? If so, explain why this is the case and, if not, what is the increase in prices and revenues?
Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations: Q³ = 2P QD=300-P A tax of T is place on buyers, so the new demand equation is QD = 300 - (P+T). The deadweight loss of a tax is the area of the triangle between the supply and demand curves. Recalling that the area of a triangle is 1/2"base height, which of the following functions of T is the deadweight loss? T²/3 2T/3 2*(300-T)/3 (300-T)/3
