The following equations represent the inverse supply tunctions in the market for Good A: PC = 80 - 2 QD PP = 14 + QS where PC and PP are the %3D prices paid by consumers and received by producers respectively. QD and QS are the quantities demanded and supplied, respectively. Suppose the government is considering imposing a tax of $6 per unit of Good A. Compute the competitive market equilibrium price and output without the tax. Compute producer surplus and consumer surplus without the tax. Compute the competitive market equilibrium price and output with the tax. Compute producer surplus and consumer surplus with the tax. a) b) d) L.

Assume that the monthly demand for Gala apple in the US is given by q=1200-300p and quantity is in million pounds. The monthly supply of Gala is q= -200+400p for p>$0.5. 1) Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. What is the new equilibrium consumer price, producer price and quantity? 2) Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. Assume that the retail stores are legally obliged to collect this tax. What is the consumers' share of the tax in cents per unit? What about producers? 3) Now assume that the government has imposed a quantity tax equal to $0.14 on each pound of apple. Assume that the retail stores are legally obliged to collect this tax. The new consumer surplus is? What about the new producers surplus?

Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world’s sugar cane crop. Sugar cane is a principal ingredient in rum, but it is not an ingredient in whiskey. Rum and whiskey are substitutes in consumption. If the government implements a price restriction in the sugar cane market with the aim of protecting the farmers. Explain how will this impact the revenues for sugar growers, rum producers and whiskey producers?
The following graph represents the demand and supply for pinckneys (an imaginary product). The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax equilibrium.
