Consider the following policies, each of which is aimed at reducing violent crime by reducing the use of guns. Illustrate the effect of each of these proposed policies in a demand and supply diagram of the gun market. For each question, show the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of guns sold. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by producers? Has the number of guns sold increased or decreased? b) a tax on gun sellers

b) In a hypothetical situation, Government of Pakistan wants to put a curb on cigarette smoking through economic policy: i. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.5. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs Rs.200 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 22 percent, by how much should it increase the price? ii. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking one year from now or five years from now? iii. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than adults. Why might this be true?
Consider the market for lattes. The government is considering imposing a new regulation that would require the temperature of each latte to be checked to ensure it is not hot enough to burn the drinker. This would slow down the production process for lattes, raising the cost to make them. What would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of lattes if this regulation were imposed? Group of answer choices Both the equilibrium price and quantity would increase. Both the equilibrium price and quantity would decrease. The equilibrium price would increase, and the equilibrium quantity would decrease. The equilibrium price would decrease, and the equilibrium quantity would increase.
