8. Suppose we want regular cars to be gradually replaced by electric cars. There are several kinds of government interventions that could be used to make this happen, or at least to push the car market to produce and sell more electric cars. Explain how a tax could be used for this purpose, and then explain how a subsidy could be used for this purpose.

12 . Problems and Applications Q10 A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: QSQS = = 3P3P QDQD = = 400−P400−P The equilibrium price is and the equilibrium quantity is . Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $80. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be . The quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price ceiling of $80 will result in . Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $80. This price floor is , and the market price will be . The quantity supplied will be and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price floor of $80 will result in . Instead of a price control, the government levies a tax on producers of $40. As a result, the new supply curve is: QSQS = = 3(P−40)3P−40 With this tax, the market price will be , the quantity supplied will be , and the quantity demanded will be . The passage…
