The annual demand for imported oranges is given by the following equation:?? = 600,000 − 30,000?where ? is the price per kilogram and ?? is quantity of kilograms demanded per year.The supply of imported oranges is given by the equation:?? = 20,000? a. Suppose that a $1-per-gallon tax is levied on the price of oranges received by sellers. Use both graphic and algebraic techniques to show the impact of the tax on market equilibrium
Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? pls draw a diagram

Say in a market we haveDemand is P = 5 – 0.005QSupply is P = 0.00125Qa-you will have a graph with price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis formost parts of this problem. You will want to show intercept values and equilibrium values withthe specific values from the problem (when you graph the supply show it go out at least to thesame level of Q as the Q intercept for the demand curve).b-what are the equilibrium price and quantity traded in the market?c-say the government levies an excise tax in the market of 50 cents that renders the supply tonow be P = .00125Q + 0.5 (essentially the supply curve shifts up by 50 cents at each quantity).What are the new equilibrium price and quantity traded in the market with this excise tax?d-did the market price increase by as much as the 50 cent tax? (compare the market priceincrease with the amount of the tax of 50 cents)e-what is then loss in consumer surplus from the tax? Do consumers like excise taxes?f-what is the elasticity…
Although 23 states barred the sale of self-service gasoline in 1968, most removed the bans by themid 1970s. By 1992, self-service outlets sold nearly 80% of all US gas, and only New Jersey andOregon continued to ban self-service sales. Using predicted values for self-service sales for NewJersey and Oregon, Johnson and Romeo (2000) estimated that the ban in those two states raisedthe price of gasoline by somewhere between 3¢ and 5¢ per gallon. Why did the ban affect theprice? Illustrate using a figure and explain. Show the welfare effects in your figure.

In 2018, a cold front in Barbados increased both the demand for water heaters andgasolines. The usage of gasoline was 581 tonnes, an increase from 499 tonnes in theprevious year. The Petroleum Company of Barbados advised Government officials thatdemand could outweigh supply and asked companies to increase the supply. They alsoasked major gasoline users, such as power plants, to reduce demand. Illustrate the effect of the cold front on the demand for gasoline using a demandcurve diagram over the two years.

If you’ve ever travelled to another country, such asGermany, you may have noticed that the price on aproduct is the total amount you actually pay when youcheck out. That is, no sales tax is added to the purchaseprice at the checkout as it is in the United States. That isbecause many countries impose a value added tax (VAT).In a small group, research value added taxes and debate whether or not such taxes benefit consumers. Do mar-keters support or dislike these types of taxes?
