Step 1
To find the price paid by the consumer, we need to solve for Q in the demand equation and substitute it into the equation for P: P = 26 - 2Q Q = (26 - P)/2 Substituting this into the supply equation: P = 2Q P = 2[(26 - P)/2] P = 26 - P 2P = 26 P = 13 Therefore, Show more…

The demand and supply curves for a product are given by q = 1700 - 10p and q = 40p - 1000, respectively, where p is the price and q is the quantity of the product. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. p = 54 q = 1160 (b) A specific tax of $9 is imposed on suppliers. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity. p = q = (c) At the new equilibrium price and quantity, how much of the $9 tax is paid by consumers, and how much by producers? By consumers: $ By producers: $ (d) What is the total tax revenue received by the government? Tax revenue = $

In Example $8,$ the demand and supply curves are given by $q=100-2 p$ and $q=3 p-50,$ respectively; the equilibrium price is $$ 30$ and the equilibrium quantity is 40 units. A sales tax of $5 \%$ 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 much tax does the government collect?

Excise Taxes) The demand and supply for soft drinks are given by Q = 20 – P and Q = 3P, respectively. Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. Suppose now the government imposes a per-unit tax of $4 on the sellers. Solve for the new quantity, net price sellers received, and price consumers paid. Calculate the government revenue from taxation. P QD QS 1 19 3 2 18 6 3 17 9 4 16 12 5 15 15 6 14 18 7 13 21 8 12 24
