Suppose that the long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline is -0.45. Assume that the price of gasoline is currently $4.00 per gallon, the quantity of gasoline is 140 billion gallons per year, and the federal government decides to increase the excise tax on gasoline by $1.00 per gallon. Suppose that in the long run the price of gasoline increases by $0.60 per gallon after the S1.00 excise tax is imposed. a. Using the midpoint formula, after the tax is...

Suppose the demand for gasoline in the United States is Q = 500.8 - 7.8P + 0.027Y - 19.6MPG, where Q is annual U.S. gasoline consumption in millions of gallons per day, P is the retail price of gasoline in $/gallon, Y is real disposable income in billions of 2012 dollars, and MPG is the fleet efficiency in miles per gallon. Assume in 2015 P = 2.50, Y = 14600, and MPG = 24.7. Note that MPG is the long-run...
