Consider the market for product ABC, when the price is at Php 12, quantity demanded is 6 units and quantity supplied is 3 units. An eight pesos increase in the price would change quantity demanded by 2 units and quantity supplied by 4 units. 1. If the government imposed Php 0.75 tax, how much would be the tax burden of the seller? 2. At equilibrium point, how much is the consumers surplus? how much is the total surplus 3. What is the elasticity of supply for the product at equilibrium point? how about the elasticity of demand at equilibrium point?

An eight pesos increase in the price would change quantity demanded by 2 units and quantity supplied by 4 units. 1. At equilibrium point, how much is the producers surplus?2. How much would the producer receive when tax is imposed? 3. If the government imposed Php 0.75 tax, how much would be the tax burden of the buyer?
Suppose that for home-owning families in the 32% tax bracket, the deductibility of mortgage payments and property taxes reduces the effective price of owner-occupied housing by about 20%. If the price elasticity of demand for housing is 1.2, the government subsidy will increase the quantity of owner-occupied housing demanded by about: 8% O 16.7% 24% O 32%
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 explain. • Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producers surplus and dead weight loss.
The equilibrium price of a good is $30. Supply of this good is more elastic than demand. 5uppase the government introduces a tax on the good. in this case, the price receved by producers is $24, and the price paid by consumers is 1.6 times more.Calculate the tax cost per good for the group bearing most of the tax burden if necessary, round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places. $______
When the price is 10 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 250 thousand and the demand is 120 thousand boxes. When the price is 9,5 TL for each pack of cookies, the supply is 200 thousand and the demand is 240 thousand boxes. Since the price-demand and supply-demand equations are linear; Calculate the producer and consumer annuity and find and interpret the market equilibrium point after-tax if the consumer is taxed at a rate of 0,75 TL per product.
The market demand for a product is Q = 290 - 7P, and the market supply is Q = -90 + 12P (where Q is quantity and P is price). The elasticity of demand: -.90 The elasticity of supply: 1.20 Suppose the government imposes a $1.20 tax per unit. 1. Use the values for price elasticity of demand and supply to calculate the tax burden on consumers relative to suppliers (or producers). 2. What is the actual tax burden on suppliers? 3. What is the actual tax burden on consumers? 4. Calculate the deadweight loss of the tax, using only the price elasticity of demand and supply, the per-unit tax, and equilibrium price and quantity.

3. Suppose you are a manufacturer of milk and it produces 900 liters and sells it for $ 15 Lt and due to social development policies, the government decides that the price of the good should be lowered by one peso, therefore it should be sold at $ 14 per liter, with which people will have more access to buy it and will influence an increase in the quantity demanded, now having to produce 1,300 liters of the good. a. Determine the elasticity of demand.b. Determine the degree of Lerner's monopoly power.

The demand and supply equations for a product are: Qd = 300 - 6P and Qs = -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 consumer pay would be the same if the government imposed a tax of Rs. 1.70 per unit sold. Draw graphs and explain. Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producers surplus and dead weight loss.
A4 Suppose that good X is traded in a competitive market. The market clearing price is $25.00 and the quantity supplied is 200. A proposed change in government policy is expected to cause the market price to increase by $1.50. Previous studies suggest that the price elasticity of supply is about 1.5. Assuming the supply schedule is linear, calculate the change in producer surplus from the government's policy shift. Round your answer to 1 decimal place and report it in the box below. Don't include the dollar sign, but if producer surplus decreases, be sure to include a negative sign in your response. your answer is
Suppose that in Australia the price elasticity of steel demand of -1.5 and the price elasticity of steel supply is 1.2. If a tax of $50 per tonne of steel is applied, then: a. The tax burden on consumers will be greater than the tax burden on suppliers. b. The tax burden on suppliers will be greater than the tax burden on consumers. c. The tax burden on consumers will be equal to the tax burden on suppliers. d. The steel price is unlikely to be substantially affected.
a) What is the Equilibrium Price and Equilibrium Quantity b) If the government imposes a $15 per unit tax on sellers on this good what is the new quantity sold in units, how much will the buyers pay, how much will sellers receive?, and how much will the government receive in tax revenue? c) What is the price elasticity of demand and over this price change? What about the supply? d) Based on the elasticities calculated above, who will bear a greater burden from the tax? Why?
