A state tax on portable electronic devices causes sales of a single model of a handheld calculator to decrease from 80 to 70 per week. The tax is assessed as a tax on sellers when they receive the units from suppliers. Drag the appropriate curves (including the Quantity curve) to show the effects on the market.

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.

Daily demand for gasoline at a Gas Station is described by Q = 980 - 300p, where Q are gallons of gasoline sold and p is the price in dollars. Gas Station's supply is Q = -2,980 + 3,000p. Suppose the state government places a tax of 18 cents on every gallon of gasoline sold. (a) What are the before-tax and after-tax equilibrium quantities of gasoline Q? (b) What are the changes in consumer's and producer's surplus due to tax? (c) What is the deadweight loss resulting from this tax?
