- Suppose an economist estimates the price elasticity of demand for sugary drinks is -4.2, while its price elasticity of supply is 1.2. If the government decides to impose a per-unit tax of $9 per can of sugary drinks sold, how would the market price of sugary drinks be affected? Show your calculationSuppose in the market for cigarettes, the price elasticity of supply is 2.4 and the price elasticity of demand is −0.8. If an excise tax is imposed on sellers of cigarettes, then _____. a buyers and sellers will pay equal shares of the tax b buyers will pay a greater share of the tax than sellers will c buyers will pay the whole tax d sellers will pay a greater share of the tax than buyers will e sellers will pay the whole taxPRICE (Dollars per pack) 50 45 TAX REVENUE (Dollars) 40 35 30 25 400 360 320 At this tax amount, the equilibrium quantity of cigarettes is government collects $ in tax revenue. 280 240 0 Suppose the government imposes a $10-per-pack tax on suppliers. 200 160 120 0 5 80 40 Supply Now calculate the government's tax revenue if it sets a tax of $0, $10, $20, $25, $30, $40, or $50 per pack.

- Question 25 Suppose that the demand for insulin is perfectly inelastic with respect to price. If a tax of $3 per vial of insulin sold, then price would: fall, but by less than $3, and there would be some reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise by the full $3, and there could definitely be a reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise, but by less than $3, and there would be some reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise by the full $3, but there would be no reduction in the quantity bought and sold. rise, but by less than $3, and there would be no reduction in the quantity bought and sold.6. The government decides to place a $6 unit tax on a product. The following elasticities are known: E, = - 1; E,= 2. By how much does the price paid by the demanders increase because of this tax?Subject:eco The elasticity of demand for maracas is –2.0, and the elasticity of supply is 3.0. How much will the price of maracas change with a per-unit tax of $1? Who bears the larger burden of the tax, consumers or producers?
- Suppose the market for cigarette is competitive. An economist estimates the price elasticity of demand and supply for cigarette are -0.8 and 0.7 respectively. Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax of $45 on the cigarette sellers. By how much would buyers share the tax burden respectively? Show your calculation.Price $3.50 3 2.50 $0.25 $1.00 1,200 1,500 $0.50 Supply The figure above illustrates a market for gasoline with a $1 tax imposed on the buyers. What is the seller's tax incidence? Between $0.00 and $1.00 depending on elasticity of supply. Demand Demand + $1 tax QuantitySuppose the market for cigarette is competitive. An economist estimates the price elasticity of demand and supply for cigarette are -0.8 and 0.7 respectively. Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax of $45 Some economists believe that a sales tax, in general, is undesirable. Explain. Despite this, why do most countries still impose a tax on cigarette? Explain plausible arguments.
- Suppose demand is D and supply is S0 so that equilibrium price is $10. If an excise tax of $6 is imposed on this product, what happens to the equilibrium price paid by consumers? The price received by producers? The number of units sold?Equilibrium price paid by consumers: $ Price received by producers: $ Number of units sold:The elasticity of demand for chocolate chip cookies is 0.6 and the elasticity of supply for these cookies is 1.9. If a tax is imposed on purchases of chocolate chip cookies, then the consumers would pay more of the tax. consumers would pay the entire tax because their demand is less elastic than the producers' supply. tax would be equally shared by the consumers and the producers. producers would pay more of the tax.4.Which of the following will cause the supply of a product to decrease? a) governent subsidy for the product b)an increase in consumer' income c) a decrease in the price of the product d)an increase in the excise tax on the product
