Homework Answers
1. The marginal willingness to pay can be represented by the Marginal Revenue and its increase. It will depict the demand and its change after tax application.
2. Same: The price that seller recieves does not get affected by tax since tax is imposed for consumer
3. Higher: After tax imposition, the price for consumers will increase
4. Lesser: Since supply curve is more elastic, the tax burden on producers will be lesser since price increase will lead to increase in supply and hence the tax burden will be higher on consumers.

Consider the market for gasoline, illustrated in the figure to the right.
Consider the market for gasoline, illustrated in the figure to the right. Suppose the government adds a $1.50 per gallon excise tax on gasoline, which shifts the supply curve from S1 to S2, as illustrated. What is the tax incidence? Consumers pay $ _______ of the tax and producers pay $_______ of the tax. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) When the demand for a product is more elastic than supply, consumers pay _______ of the tax on the product.

Suppose the original before-tax demand curve for boks is P = 100 -2Qd. Suppose further that supply is P = 5 + 3Qs. Now suppose a quantity tax of $5 per unit is imposed on consumers. A) What is the before-tax equilibrium price and quantity? B) What is the after-tax equilibrium quantity? What is the price received by producers? What is the price paid by consumers? C) How much tax revenue is raised? D) Calculate the excess burden created by...
