A tax is imposed on producers for each gallon of gasoline sold. The graph illustrates the demand and supply curves for gasoline both before and after the tax is imposed.
Ans) $ 1
Amount of tax paid be sellers = price received before tax - price received after tax
= 4.5 - 3.5 = 1

The demand curve for gasoline is given by P= 18 -0.01Q where Q is a gallon of gasoline. A per-unit tax of $2 is imposed on the consumers. After paying the tax, their remaining marginal willingness to pay is represented by [Select] The new price that sellers receive is (Select] compared to the original market price of gasoline, and the new price that consumers pay (with the tax) is [Select ] compared the original market price of gasoline. If the...

7. Problems and Applications Q7 Congress and the president decide that the United States should reduce air pollution by reducing its use of gasoline. They impose a $0.50 tax on each gallon of gasoline sold. Suppose they decided to impose the tax on producers. In the following graph, shows the effect of a $0.50 tax on each gallon of gasoline sold imposed on producers by shifting the demand or supply curve. Supply Demand Supply Price of Gasoline (Dollars per gallon)...

You are given the following data on P and O for gasoline both before and affer the imposition of a per gallon tax on producers in the local market for gasoline Q 40 gallons -35 gallons -$3/gallon $4/gallon Before the Tax After the Tax Part C: Using this elastioity value, fit the given data instead into a demand function of the constant elasticity form Using this elasticity value, the constant elasticity demand function would be OA QD 48.46 P-1 B....
The following graph depicts a market where a tax has been imposed. Pe was the equilibrium price before the tax was imposed, and Qe was the equilibrium quantity. After the tax, PC is the price that consumers pay, and PS is the price that producers receive. QT units are sold after the tax is imposed. NOTE: The areas B and Care rectangles that are divided by the supply curve ST. Include both sections of those rectangles when choosing your answers....
7. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers Suppose the calculator illustrates the market for wine in the United States. The orange (upward-sloping) line represents the supply curve of wine, and the blue (downward-sloping) line represents the market demand. 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. The market is initially in equilibrium. Then the government institutes a $11.60 per bottle tax...
