- the inverse demand function for mangos is p=6-0.5q, where q is the number of crates that are sold. The inverse supply function is p=q. In the past there was no tax on mangos but now a tax of 3$ per crate has been imposed on suppliers. What are the quantities produced before and after the tax was imposed? How much tax is raised?The demand and supply equations for a product are: Q= 300 — 6P and Q.= -40 + 6P. Determine the market equilibrium and draw graphs. Suppose that the government decides to impose a flat tax of 10% on each unit sold. Show that the price that consumers pay would be the same if the government imposed a tax of Rs. 1.70 per unit sold. Draw graphs and Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producer surplus, and deadweight loss.Suppose that the demand and supply functions for a good are given as follows: Demand: Q = 720 – 8P Supply: Q =-160 + 3P What is the price elasticity of supply at the equilibrium when there is no tax? 0.6 3. 15 6.

The government decides to levy an excise tax of $2.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller. Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows: 1. The equilibrium quantity produced 2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good 3. The price received by sellers Before Tax After Tax Equilibrium Quantity (Millions of units) Equilibrium Price per Unit Paid by Consumers Price per Unit Received by Sellers Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence on consumers is per unit of the good, and the tax incidence on producers is per unit of the good.

- The government of a State has been experiencing an increase in number of obesity cases. Research suggests an increase in consumption of a particular fast food item is responsible for high number of obesity cases. As a result, the government of that State is considering an imposition of $1 tax. Monthly demand and supply for this good are QD=21-1P and QS= -1+1P respectively. Draw the demand and Supply curve for fast food before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer and producer surplus, and label them on the graph. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply for fast food. If the State government imposes a tax, who will bear the most of the burden of the tax? Suppose that the State government finally imposes a $1 tax on fast food. What will the new equilibrium price and quantity? Include the tax on your graph. Calculate the consumer and producer surplus and label them on the graph. Is there any deadweight loss resulting from the tax on that…Suppose that the demand and supply functions for a good are given as follows: Demand: 0-720-8P Supply: Q =-160 + 3P What is the price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium when there is no tax? 0.5 1.25Example 2: In fall of 2011, the National Christmas Tree Association decided to impose a fee/tax of $0.15 per tree sold.² They claimed the tax revenue raised would fund a new marketing campaign for Christmas tree growers in response to growing plastic tree imports. The proposal quickly drew controversy: some argued that the fee/tax would be passed along in higher prices to consumers, but the National Christmas Tree Association says no. How does the answer to this question depend on the assumption about the price elasticity of demand? a. Consider two graphs of the market for Christmas trees. The supply curve in each market is assumed to be the same. In the left graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively inelastic and in the right graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic. Add labels on your diagram to identify the equilibrium price and quantity of trees before the tax. b. Now, suppose retailers are assessed a tax of amount for each tree sold.…
- According to the article, after the city of Berkeley imposed a $0.01 per ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), by what percent did consumption of SSBs fall among Berkeley's low-income residents? Who was Berkeley's tax levied on in city law? Buyers or sellers? Assume that the price elasticity of supply for SSBs is elastic and the price elasticity of demand for SSBs is inelastic. What would be the outcome of the sales tax on sugary drinks if the law says that the tax is levied on sellers of the drinks? Who will pay the tax? Assume that the price elasticity of supply for SSBs is elastic and the price elasticity of demand for SSBs is inelastic.
