What is the equilibrium Price and Quantity in the market? Now suppose the government imposes a special tax on these computers. Describe what would happen in this market in terms of the supply and demand curve. Disregard the new tax in part three. Now assume that the government imposes a price ceiling of $100 in this market, as a result of protests of price gauging by the sellers. What would happen to the price and quantity in this market? Disregard the events of part four. Assume that the manufacturers of this product lobby the government

A good can be produced in a competitive industry at a cost of $\$ 10$ per unit. There are 100 consumers are each willing to pay $\$ 12$ each to consume a single unit of the good (additional units have no value to them.) What is the equilibrium price and quantity sold? The government imposes a tax of $\$ 1$ on the good. What is the deadweight loss of this tax?

Supply and demand curves for a certain consumer good are given by q = 5p + 450 and q = 1250 – 3p, respectively. p is the price in dollars for one unit of this good and q is the number of units. A specific tax of $15 on each unit of this good has been proposed. This tax, if enacted, would be directed at the suppliers. By how much will the equilibrium price increase if this tax is enacted?
