Using the following equations of demand and supply: P=200-Q$_d$ P=20+2Q$_s$ Using a fully labelled diagram, analyse the economic effects of a 5% ad valorem tax charged to consumers. 1) What are the initial equilibrium price and quantity? 2) What is the new equilibrium quantity? 3) What is the new consumers' tax included price? 4) What is the new suppliers' price? 5) What is the burden of the tax to consumers, on a per unit basis? 6) What is the burden of the tax to producers, on a per unit basis? 7) How much tax revenue is collected by the government? Export Demand: Subtraction Suppose the market for Canadian wheat is given as follows: P=120-\frac{2}{3}Q$_{CAN+POTTS}$ P=10+2Q$_{CAN}$ Initially, Canada and Pottsylvania (POTTS) have an agreement whereby Pottsylvanians are able to purchase Canadian produced wheat. But, a dispute arises an Pottsylvanians are barred from buying Canadian produced wheat. If Pottsylvanian demand is given as: P=100-2Q$_{POTTS}$ with the use of a fully labelled diagram, analyse the resulting economic effects. 1) What is the original equilibrium price? 2) What is the original equilibrium quantity? 3) What is the new equilibrium price? 4) What is the new equilibrium quantity? 5) What were original purchases by Pottsylvanians? 6) What were original purchases by Canadians?

Question 1 Assume that a consumer has a Cobb-Douglas utility function $U(x_1, x_2) = x_1^{0.8}x_2^{0.2}$, with an income of $100. The prices of goods $x_1$ and $x_2$ are $1 and $2, respectively. 1. Write out the consumer's budget constraint. (5 points) 2. Calculate the $MU_{x_1}$ and the $MU_{x_2}$. (10 points) 3. Calculate the slope of the indifference curve. Hint: $-MRS_{x_1, x_2}$. (5 points) 4. Calculate the slope of the budget constraint. Hint: $-P_{x_1}/P_{x_2}$. (5 points) 5. Find the consumer's optimal bundle $(x_1^*, x_2^*)$. (20 points) 6. Graph the consumer's optimal choice. Assume that good $x_1$ is on the horizontal axis and good $x_2$ is on the vertical axis. (5 points)
