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?
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 Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producer surplus, and deadweight loss.
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.

On June 2, 2008, the State of New York imposed a tax of $1.25 per pack of cigarettes. Prior to the tax, the market price was $5.82 per pack and there were 1 million New York smokers. Assume that each smoker consumes one pack of cigarettes per day. After the tax, N.Y. Health Commissioner estimated that 140,000 people stopped smoking and the market price of cigarettes increased from $5.82/pack to $6.57/pack. Calculate the price elasticity of demand based on these estimates and assumptions.
This year, the price-demand and price-supply equations for bourbon whiskey are, respectively: p = 850 - 0.25Q (price-demand) p = 200 + 0.15Q (price-supply) Quantities Qd and Q are measured in million of cases, and the pricep is for one case. The government has just announced that, effective immediately, it will impose an excise tax of $20 per case on all distilled spirits, including bourbon whiskey. Question: How would the tax excise change the revenues from selling bourbon whiskey? Hint: Calculate the revenues before the tax is implemented and the revenues after the tax is implemented. Revenues drop by $1.5 billion Revenues drop by $3.125 billion Revenues increase by $4.29 billion Revenues drop by $2.5 billion Revenues increase by $1.5 billion

The government of a State has been experiencing an increase in number of obesity cases. Research suggests an increase in consumption of a particular fast food item is responsible for high number of obesity cases. As a result, the government of that State is considering an imposition of $1 tax. Monthly demand and supply for this good are QD=21-1P and QS= -1+1P respectively. Draw the demand and Supply curve for fast food before the tax is imposed. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer and producer surplus, and label them on the graph. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply for fast food. If the State government imposes a tax, who will bear the most of the burden of the tax? Suppose that the State government finally imposes a $1 tax on fast food. What will the new equilibrium price and quantity? Include the tax on your graph. Calculate the consumer and producer surplus and label them on the graph. Is there any deadweight loss resulting from the tax on that…
