Assume a perfectly competitive industry. The demand curve is QD = 93 − 3P and the supply curve is QS = -2 + 2P a) Find producer and consumer surplus. Suppose that a tax of $20 per unit is imposed on firms. b) Find the burden of the tax on consumers c) Find the burden of tax on firms d) Find any deadweight loss.
Consider the following supply and demand functions qD = 12 - 3p qS = -3 + 2p Using the supply and demand functions, suppose a price ceiling of p = 2 were implemented. How much is supplied to the market and how much is demanded? What is the excess demand? Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and welfare level without the priceceiling. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, welfare level, and dead weight loss withthis price ceiling. What if the...
The demand and supply curves are given by q=130−3p and q=2p−60, respectively; the equilibrium price is $38 and the equilibrium quantity is 16 units. A sales tax of 2% is imposed on the consumer. (a) Find the equation of the new demand and supply curves. b) Find the new equilibrium price and quantity. (c) How much is paid in taxes on each unit? How much of this is paid by the consumer and how much by the producer? (d) How...
The market demand and supply is described by the following equations QD = 250 - 2P QS 3P 1) Find the market equilibrium. 2) What is the CS, PS, and W in this market? 3) Assume that the government introduces a equilibrium? price ceiling of p = 15. What is the new 4) Find the change in CS, PS, and W. Is there Dead Weight Loss? if so, of how much? 5) What does this tell you about the welfare...
A perfectly competitive market is characterized by supply and demand as: Qd = 200 – 2Pd Qs = ( −10 + 5Ps), when Ps ≥ 2 Qs=0, when Ps < 2 a. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market if there is no tax? b. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $7 on this market. What is the new market quantity? What happens to the price paid by buyers (Pd ) and received by sellers (Ps )?...
A market for baby bottles has the following supply and demand functions qS = −6 + 3p qD = 14 − 2p a) Calculate the Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus, and Total Welfare levels. b) Now, suppose a per unit tax of 5 were charged to the buyer. What are the equilibrium quantity, price paid by the buyer, and price received by the seller? c) Mathematically, does it make a difference if the tax is applied to the buyer or the...
Qd = 600 – P Qs = 2P a. Calculate equilibrium price and quantity b. Determine the value for consumer surplus at equilibrium c. Determine the value for producer surplus at equilibrium d. At what range of prices could a binding price ceiling be enforced?
1 Suppose the demand for shoes is given by: QD= 210 -2P. The supply of shoes is given by: QS= 9P -120. Calculate the Gains from Trade (also known as Economic Surplus) that would exist in this market in a competitive equilibrium. 2 Suppose the demand for jackets was given by: QD= 140 -0.4P. The supply of jackets is given by: QS= 4P -80. Suppose the price was $49 per jacket. Calculate whether there is a surplus or shortage of...
A market for baby bottles has the following supply and demand functions qS = −6 + 3p qD = 14 − 2p a. Now, suppose a per unit tax of 5 were charged to the buyer. What are the equilibrium quantity, price paid by the buyer, and price received by the seller? b. How much tax revenue is raised? How much of that tax burden is borne by the buyer? c. Calculate the Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus, Total Welfare Level,...
