The table below illustrates the market for Internet services. Use a demand-supply graph to answer the following. Draw a graph of the market for internet services before the tax (only plot the supply and demand functions). Suppose the government imposes a $15 tax per month on the supply side of the market. Sketch the new supply function after the tax.
A city’s hotel tax used to be 20%. Today it is 12%. Total hotel tax revenue today is greater at a 12% tax than hotel tax revenue used to be at the 20% rate. Use a tax incidence (or tax shifting) supply and demand diagram to show both higher total tax revenue at the 12% tax rate, and lower total tax revenue at the 20% tax rate. Draw Arthur Laffer’s curve to show both the tax percentage reduction, and the total tax revenue increase. Label both diagrams fully.

Consider the market for gasoline, illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose the government adds a $0.75 per gallon excise tax on gasoline, which shifts the supply curve from S, to S₂, as illustrated. What is the tax incidence? Consumers pay $ of the tax and producers pay $ of the tax. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) When the demand for a product is more elastic than supply, consumers pay of the tax on the product. the majority a minority Price (dollars per gallon) 5.50- 5.00- 4.50- 4.00- 3.50- 3.00- 2.50 2.00- 1.50- 1.00- 0.50- 0.00- S₂ S₁ 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 Quantity (billions of gallons)
For Questions 45-47 Suppose the current equilibrium price of a gadget is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 100. Then the government imposes an excise tax of $2 per unit on the production of gadgets. Subsequent to the tax and the resulting supply shift, the equilibrium quantity falls to 90. The elasticity of demand coefficient associated with the movement between the two equilibrium points is .5. dollars. 45. The post- tax price is equal to 46. The Incidence Ratio is equal to 47. Who bears the greater economic burden of the tax?
The government is considering levying a tax of $80 per unit on suppliers of either leather jackets or smartphones. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for leather jackets is shown by DLDL (on the first graph), and the demand for smartphones is shown by DSDS (on the second graph). Suppose the government taxes leather jackets. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S+TaxS+Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($80 per jacket). On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for leather jackets. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax. Instead, suppose the government taxes smartphones. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good, as well as the supply curve…

6.Suppose a $ 60 per unit tax on gasoline is place on the seller and assume that the demand curve for gasoline is perfectly inelastic and the supply curve is elastic. Assume that the equilibrium price on gasoline is $120 and the equilibrium quantity of gasoline before the tax is implemented is 200,000 units. Please answer the following questions below using a supply and demand graph and words. As a result of the $60 per unit tax being placed on the sellers, did the supply curve shift to the left or to the right? What happened to the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of gasoline after the $60 per unit tax was implemented? Who pays most or all of the burden of the $60 tax, the buyer or the seller, and WHY? Please calculate the tax revenue collected by the government. Please show your work and calculation. Did the government make the right decision in implementing the $60 per unit tax on the sellers? Why or why not? Explain.
