a) In the market for sugary drinks, the current equilibrium price is $10 and the equilibrium quantity is 30. The demand choke price is $50 and the supply choke price is $5 (a) Draw a demand and supply diagram, and shade the regions that represent consumer and producer welfare. Calculate the Total welfare in this market b) In this market, you now know that E D = −0.4 and E S = 1.2. Redraw your diagram in part (a) with the correct sloping curves. In this part you do not have to shade the welfare regions. All you need to do is redraw the diagram with the same equilibrium price and quantity, and choke prices but adjust the slope of each curve to reflect their respective elasticity c) If a tax was to be implemented in this market, what percentage of the burden is borne by the buyer? d) The government plans to discourage the consumption of sugary drinks and as such, they implemented a $1 tax on every bottle produced. In this situation, the suppliers are taxed directly but they hope to pass…
Please written by computer source Suppose that the demand curve for a product is given by Q = 100 −10p and the supply curve is Q = 10p. Assume that income effects (elasticities) are small so consumer surplus is a good measure of consumer welfare. (a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity with no distortions? (b) The government imposes a tax of $2.00 per unit sold. What is the new equilibrium quantity? Sketch the market equilibrium in a graph. (c) Given the tax what is the change in consumer surplus? What is the change in producer surplus? What is the change in government revenue? What is the net Dead Weight Loss from the tax? (d) Say the government proposes to use the revenue from the tax to pay for snacks in our last ECON 312A lecture. The total social benefits from the snacks would be $82.00. Will the tax increase overall welfare if the revenue is used to buy the snacks? What is the dollar value of the net gain or loss to society?

Utilize the following graph of the medical doctor services market, in which there is a third-party present (insurance company), to answer the following question: P 180 100 20 40 ● 72 Question: Suppose that co-payments are set at $20 per doctor visit and quantity demanded is 72 from patients. In order for doctors to supply 72 doctor visits the price has to be $180. In a regular market (no third-party) the equilibrium price is $100 and the quantity is 40. Why is there a difference between a regular market and a third-party payer market in regards to total costs? What is the difference? All of the available answers are correct. D In third-party payer markets, consumers do not have to pay the full costs of their consumption. This induces people to have lower quantity demanded than otherwise would be the case in a regular market. Therefore total costs increase under a third-party payer market compared to a regular market. The difference in this case is $12,960. In third-party payer markets,…
Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption. If the government implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. Explain how will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers and whiskey producers?
The market supply and demand for solar panels are given respectively by QS = 80P – 5,000 and QD = 65,000 – 20P, where P is price per solar panel and Q measures the quantity of solar panels. Suppose the government provides a £100 subsidy per solar panel. A. Calculate the price and equilibrium quantity before the government subsidy. B. Calculate the post-subsidy equilibrium quantity, the prices consumers pay and the price producers receive C. How much does the subsidy program cost the government? (3%)
On the market for cherries, supply is inelastic, while demand is elastic. You know that suppliers are not ready to supply any cherries when the price is below $1.5 per pound. a) On a graph, show the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. Make sure you label the axes and the curves. Then, show the consumer surplus and the producer surplus. b) Strawberries and cherries are substitutes. The price of strawberries increased. On a graph,show what will happen on the market for cherries. Show the change in the consumer surplus. Show the change in the producer surplus. c) Forget about part (b). There are issues with the supply chain: transportation companies raise the fees they charge to deliver cherries from the farms to the supermarkets. On a graph, show what will happen on the market for cherries. Show the change in the consumer surplus. Show the change in the producer surplus
In the market for widgets, the supply curve is the typical upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is the typical downward-sloping straight line. The equilibrium quantity in the market for widgets is 200 per month when there is no tax. Then a tax of $5 per widget is imposed. As a result, the government is able to raise $750 per month in tax revenue. We can conclude that the equilibrium quantity of widgets has fallen by 25 per month. 50 per month.
