Suppose the market for widgets can be described by the following equations: Demand: P = 20 - 1.000 Supply: P = 1.000 -6, where P is the price in dollars per unit and Q is the quantity in thousands of units. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? The equilibrium quantity is thousand units and the equilibrium price is $(Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government imposes a tax of $1 per unit to reduce widget...

Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations Q = 2P QP = 300-P a. Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. Calculate the consumer and producer surplus 2P =300-P P 2100 Equilibrium price quantity Q = 2(000) =200 Equilibri Suplus: A ABL = ²2 Consumer b. Suppose that a tax of 10 is placed on buyers, so the new demand equation is Q" = 300 - (P+10) Solve for the...
Now suppose that the government imposes a $2 tax per case on the sellers of microwave popcorn. The graph below shows the effects of this tax. Supply Demand 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 Quantity Using the information in the graph above, identify each of the following (after the tax is imposed): e. the new equilibrium price and quantity f. price paid by buyers g. price received by sellers h. consumer surplus i. producer surplus j. government...
8. Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations:Qs=1 / 2 pQ0=300-Pa. Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.b. Suppose that a tax of $ 30 is placed on buyers. Solve for the new equilibrium. What happens to the price received by sellers, the price paid by buyers, and the quantity sold?c. The deadweight loss of a tax is the area of the triangle between the supply and demand curves. Solve for deadweight loss....

How much was the tax revenue generated as a result? • What was the price buyers paid for each shirt before the taxes were imposed and...
Tax incidence refers to who “feels” the effects of a tax, buyers or sellers. On the example from the previous page, the $4 tax resulted in buyers paying $3 more (since the market price was $4 without the tax, and the price buyers pay with the tax is $7) and sellers receiving $1 less (since the market price was $4 without the tax and sellers receive $3 with the tax). So, we say the incidence of the $4 tax is...
Part 1.
What was the equilibrium price in this market before the
tax?
What is the amount of the tax?
How much of the tax will the buyers pay?
How much of the tax will the sellers pay?
How much will the buyer pay for the product after the tax is
imposed?
How much will the seller receive after the tax is imposed?
As a result of the tax, what has happened to the level of
output?
Calculate the economic...
