“The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.” Do you agree or disagree with this view?
Due to the decrease in the level of water in the lakes of Chapel Hill, the local government wants to reduce the consumption of tap water. They are evaluating two alternatives: to impose a minimum price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater than the actual price, or to impose an excise tax of five cents on consumption of tap water. Assume that this market is originally in equilibrium. Which of these two alternatives will deliver a bigger reduction in the quantity consumed? Why? Use graphs to explain your answer. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.

Consider that the retail market for sanitizing wipes in a small locale is described by the follow demand and supply equations respectively: P = 8.40 - 0.02Q and P = 6.60 + 0.01Q where P is the price in dollars and Q is the quantity measured in thousands per week. The market is currently in equilibrium. (Question 8 of 8) Now consider than an unexpected viral outbreak led to consumers ensuring that much more surfaces (counter tops, door handles, etc.) are clean and sanitized. At the same time, the government's demand for sanitizing wipes at various public institutions (hospitals, schools, etc.) has impacted the supply of sanitizing wipes in the retail market. Although the government is neither a buyer nor seller in the retail market, their requests for sanitizing wipes does affect how many sanitizing wipes firms are able to supply in the retail market. The market for sanitizing wipes adjusts afterwards and the market is in equilibrium. Suppose that after the market for sanitizing wipes…
