Explanation of Solution
Let us take the example of a motor bike. Suppose, the cost of the motor bike is $100 and the government imposes 10% tax on the sale of it. Now, for the consumer earlier it was costing $100 but now it is costing $110, thus it has become relatively expensive. In other words, the real income of the consumer has reduced. With the reduction in the real income and substitution effect, the consumer will demand less quantity, that is, the consumer will move along the demand curve towards higher price and lesser quantity. Being conscious of this, the producer will also take an action. The supply curve will shift leftward implying less supply.
Thus, the taxes reduce both demand and supply.
As we can observe in the figure, where on vertical axis we have prices and on horizontal axis we have quantity, that before the imposition of tax, the
and after the tax it has reduced to P’Q’.

The success of your business due to the strong economy explains why my spouse feels excited. The increase in interest rates may lead to a decline in new home demand. When mortgage rates rise they lead to higher costs which can discourage potential buyers and reduce demand in the housing market. The government increases interest rates as a measure to suppress inflation and stop the economy from growing too fast. Business expansion during this period presents significant risks. Before making significant investments it would be prudent to monitor how the market responds to the rate increase. Business expansion during a decline in demand for new homes could create financial difficulties.arrow_forwardPlace the labeled CS to represent the new consumer surplus in the market and the area labeled PS to represent producer surplusarrow_forwardNot use ai pleasearrow_forward
