Consider the supply and demand functions graphed below. 100 75 70 60 Price 10 5 6 Supply Demand 20 Quantity Suppose a demand-side tax is imposed. As a result of the tax, the new equilibrium quantity is 5. What is the price paid by consumers? $ 60 What is the price received by producers? $ How much is the tax that was imposed? $ How much tax revenue is collected? $ Which side of the market pays more of the tax? This side of the market pays more of the tax because

The supply and demand functions of a good are given by; P = 32 + Q_S^2 P = 140 - (Q_D^2)/3 where P, Q_S and Q_D denote the price, quantity supplied and quantity demanded, respectively. a. Draw graphs of these functions on the same diagram with quantity on the horizontal axis and price on the vertical axis. b. Calculate the producer's and consumer's surpluses at the equilibrium point. c. If the government imposes a fixed tax on this good, explain the effect, if any, on i. equilibrium price and quantity; ii. consumer's surplus.

Consider the following demand and supply curves. Demand is Qd = 90 - 0.5P and Supply is Qs = 2P. a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Calculate the revenue, economic surplus and consumer surplus received from this product. c) If a per unit tax of $3.00 is added to the supply curve, calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity, and calculate how consumer surplus, marginal value, and total value are affected in this market? Explain.
