Assume that the market for a good is in equilibrium at a price of $20 and a quantity of 100 units. After the government imposes a $5 per-unit excise tax on the good, the price that buyers pay for the good increases by $3. Which of the following are possible values for the government tax revenue and deadweight loss in the market
Homework Answers
Tax revenue in the diagram above is the area of portion A + B, while deadweight loss is the area of portion C + D.
Deadweight loss cannot be 0, which make option A and B incorrect.
Tax revenue cannot be 500 because the area of rectangle A + B is (23 - 18) * (Quantity sold) where quantity sold must be 100 to make total revenue equal to 500, which is not possible here because quantity must be less than 100. It makes options D and E incorrect.
Option C is correct.

Suppose the government imposes a $20-per-bottle tax on suppliers.
Suppose the government imposes a $20-per-bottle tax on suppliers.At this tax amount, the equilibrium quantity of gin is _______ bottles, and the government collects $_______ in tax revenue.Now calculate the government's tax revenue if it sets a tax of 50, $20, $40, $50, $60, $80, or $100 per bottle. Hint: To find the equilibrium quantity after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax.) Using the data you generate, plot a Laffer...

Suppose the government imposes a $20-per-bottle tax on suppliers.
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 vodka, 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...

Suppose the equilibrium price of potatoes is $5 per pound, but the government imposes a price ceiling of $2 per pound, creating a deadweight loss. True or False: If the government imposes a sales tax of $1 per pound of potatoes (while continuing to maintain the price ceiling), then the deadweight loss will get even larger.
Suppose the government imposes a $4-per-pack tax on suppliers.
4. The Laffer curveGovernments often place so-called sin taxes on goods or services such as cigarettes and alcohol. These kinds of taxes are popular with politicians because they are usually more palatable to voters than income taxes.To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for cigarettes, which is shown on the following graph.Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions.
