4 (a) Use diagrams to explain how the burden of a sales tax (levied on the seller) falls on the buyer and the seller of a good. Under what conditions will the consumer pay most of the tax? (b) Suppose that the market for ice-cream can be described by the following equations: Demand: P 10-Q Supply: P-Q-4 where P is the price in euro per unit and Q is the quantity in thousands of units. Find the equilibrium price and...
3. Suppose the market for widgets can be described by the following equations: Demand: P= 10 - Q Supply: P=Q-4 where P is the price in dollars per unit and Q is the quantity in thousands of units. a. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? (2 points) b. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $1 per unit to reduce widget consumption and raise government revenues.

Suppose market demand for bread is given by the equation QD = 12-P while the market supply equation is Qs = 2P. a. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus in the market for tires. Graph your results. b. Suppose the government imposes a tax on tire producers of $3 per tire. i. What price will the buyer pay? What is the burden to consumers? What amount per unit will the seller receive? What is the...
Tax Problem:
Suppose the demand curve for a good is given by Q D = 10 - 2P and
the supply curve is given by

2. Taxes and welfare Consider the market for designer purses. The following graph shows the demand and supply for designer purses before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of designer purses in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the...
