QUESTION 8.5 Suppose that President Clinton has recently recommended that the U.S. should use some of the strategic oil reserves (oil stored underground and owned by the United States government) in order to solve the U.S. oil supply problem. Assume that quantity demanded in the short-run is inelastic at 1 million barrels per day. The quantity supplied (per day) is equal to 700,000+ 10,000P (where P is the price for a barrel of oil). a. What would be the current price for a barrel of oil? IN b. If Clinton releases 100,000 barrels per day, what is the new equilibrium price and quantity? N c. Presidential candidate George W. Bush proposed that all states lower their gasoline tax. Assume that the gasoline tax reduction leads to a $10 decrease in the tax on a barrel of oil (i.e., supply side). What is the new price and quantity? N How much of the tax savings will be passed on to consumer through lower prices? Assume that the changes in part b. have not occurred. d. What impact do each of these two proposals in b. and c. have on revenues? N
