The supply and demand equations of a good are given by $$ \begin{aligned} &P=Q_{\mathrm{s}}+8 \\ &P=-3 Q_{\mathrm{D}}+80 \end{aligned} $$ where $P, Q_{s}$ and $Q_{D}$ denote price, quantity supplied and quantity demanded respectively. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity if the government imposes a fixed tax of $£ 36$ on each good. (b) Find the corresponding value of the government's tax revenue.

Supply and demand analysis
The supply and demand equations of a good are given (respectively) by: 3P - Qs = 3 and 2P - Qd = 14 The government decides to impose a tax, t, per unit. Find the value of t (in pounds) which maximizes the government's total tax revenue on the assumption that equilibrium conditions prevail in the market.

Suppose the demand for a product is given by P = 100 - 2Q. Also, the supply is given by P = 20 + 6Q. If an $8 per-unit excise tax is levied on the buyers of a good, producer surplus is equal to $472. None of these. $81. $243. Suppose the demand for a product is given by P = 30 - 3Q. Also, the supply is given by P = 10 + Q. If a $4 per-unit excise tax is levied on the buyers of a good, government revenue is equal to $24. None of these. $16. $4. $8.
