- When airfares between Santa Rosa and Los Angeles averages $69, the quantity consumed is 42,500 tickets. One day, an airline tax is levied equal to $10.00 and output falls to 37,000 tickets. Assume that air travelers end up paying 75% of the tax. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and & interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula Calculate the price elasticity of supply and interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula.

- 4. In order to reduce farm output, raise farm prices, and thus raise farm incomes (revenues), the government pays farmers to set aside a portion of their land from production.

What is the application of the “elasticity” concept in economics? How does it help a producer decide the revenue maximizing price? Explain.14 K You are a policy maker who is interested in increasing tax revenues in order to reduce the Federal budget deficit. One proposal that has been suggested is increase excise taxes on certain goods. Some of the options suggested are: • vacation travel such as cruises • liquor and cigarettes • gasoline . theater and concert tickets Based on your knowledge of elasticity of demand, which items would you choose?

- 1. Determine the amount of consumer surplus generated in each of the following situations a. William goes to the clothing store to buy a new T-shirt, for which he is willing to pay up to $10. He picks out one he likes with a price tag of exactly $10. At the cash register, he is told that his T-shirt is on sale for half the posted price. b. Sophia goes to the CD store hoping to find a used copy of the Eagles Greatest Hits for up to $10. The store has one copy selling for $10 c.

The government of a small country needs to raise money to fund school improvements. It is considering implementing a tax on rice to raise money. (a) Using a supply and demand diagram, explain why the tax will cause a deadweight loss. (b) Rice is an important part of its citizens' diet and has a demand elasticity of –0.2. Cars are a luxury good and have a demand elasticity of –3. Assume both rice and cars are imported into the country so supply is perfectly elastic. Which tax will cause a greater deadweight loss? Explain why using economic arguments. Which good do you think the government should tax? Why? Your explanation can incorporate whatever reasons you think are important.1.
