Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for beer, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. PRICE (Dollars per case) TAX REVENUE (Dollars) 400 Suppose the government imposes a $10-per-case tax on suppliers.

6.Suppose a $ 60 per unit tax on gasoline is place on the seller and assume that the demand curve for gasoline is perfectly inelastic and the supply curve is elastic. Assume that the equilibrium price on gasoline is $120 and the equilibrium quantity of gasoline before the tax is implemented is 200,000 units. Please answer the following questions below using a supply and demand graph and words. As a result of the $60 per unit tax being placed on the sellers, did the supply curve shift to the left or to the right? What happened to the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of gasoline after the $60 per unit tax was implemented? Who pays most or all of the burden of the $60 tax, the buyer or the seller, and WHY? Please calculate the tax revenue collected by the government. Please show your work and calculation. Did the government make the right decision in implementing the $60 per unit tax on the sellers? Why or why not? Explain.
1. Assume that the demand for cigarettes is Qd=1600-30P and the supply of cigarettes is Qs=1400+70P: a. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity and show them on a supplyand demand diagram. b. Suppose the government levies a $2 tax for each unit of cigarettes sold.Draw this on the diagram and calculate the new equilibrium price andquantity. c. Calculate the price elasticity of demand given these two price andquantity points. Is the demand for cigarettes price elastic or inelastic onthis part of the demand curve? Interpret the elasticity in words (i.e. If theprices rises by 10%, by what percentage will consumption fall?) d. On a graph, identify the tax revenue generated by this tax. e. Indicate each area on the graph with a letter and show in a table theconsumer surplus and the producer surplus before and after the tax. Also,indicate the deadweight loss associated with this tax. f.

The accompanying graph depicts a hypothetical market for salt. Suppose that an excise or commodity tax is levied on consumers in an attempt to curb blood pressure problems. Show the effect of the tax by shifting the appropriate curve(s). 10 9 Market for Salt Who has the larger tax burden? The tax burdens are equal Producers (suppliers) Consumers (buyers) Why is the tax burden as you described in in the question above? Demand is less elastic than supply. Supply is less elastic than demand. Both supply and demand are perfectly elastic. Demand is more elastic than supply. Consumers are the ones paying the tax.
