(9) tax indidence depicts tax distribution that the producer and buyer has to bear. tax incidence is based on elasticity of demand or supply. if supply is elastic than tax burden will be borne by buyer or if demand is elastic than tax burden borne by suppliers. in the above mentioned diagram tax burden is borne by buyer. as the supply is decrease due to tax imposition by government and increase in price also include tax burden borne by buyer. tax incidence on produce is Nil. it will shift on to buyer.
(10) revenue to government subject to condition if tax imposed by government per unit is 1.5 only
= (9.50-8.00 )* 20
= 1.5*20
=$30
** if price increases from 7.50 to 9.50 then tax would be $2.00/ unit
= 2.00*20
=$40
(11) government earn more revenue from good that have inelastic demand as higher tax will have less effect on demand due to reason more amount of tax burden will be shifted to consumr only. in this way goverment will earn more revenue from tax imposition.
when demand and supply is perfectly elastic it is identical to x axis.( Horizontal)
when demand and supply is perfectly inelstic it is identical to y axis (vertical)

14.00 8.00 7.50 6.00 4.00 Above is a graph for widgets. The equilibrium price is $8.00 and 25 units are demanded an supplied. The government imposes a tax of $2.00 per widget sold on producers. Use this information to answer the following questions. 6. What is the price consumers pay after the tax? 7. What is the price producers receive after the tax? 8. What is the tax incidence on consumers? 9. What is the tax incidence on producers? 10....
Question 15 (1 point) In which case would producers bear 100% of the tax incidence? a) an inelastic demand curve and a perfectly elastic supply curve an inelastic demand curve and a unitary elastic supply curve d) a perfectly elastic demand curve with an inelastic supply curve d) a perfectly inelastic demand curve with an elastic supply curve
Suppose the government is considering taxing cigarettes. Because it is often politically more popular to tax the producers of cigarettes than the consumers of cigałettes, the government first considers the impact on the market as a result of taxing the producers of cigarettes. a. Draw the after-tax supply curve if the government chooses to tax cigarette producers $2.50 per pack of cigarettes Instructions: Use the tool provided (S2) to plot the after-tax supply curve. Place your endpoints at Q-0 and...

Feel free to use any spaces for scratch work. 1) Consider the excise tax lectured in class. For a given excise tax, we can correctly predict that consumer tax incidence will be less than producer tax incidence when: a) Both the demand and the supply curves are more inelastic. b) The demand curve is inelastic and the supply curve is elastie. c) The demand curve is elastic and the supply curve is inelastic. d) Both the demand and...
11. The goals of optimal income taxation include all of the following EXCEPT: a. maximizing tax revenue. b. minimizing the distortions due to taxation. c. maximizing the nation's social welfare function. d. achieving vertical equity. 12. Suppose that the elasticities of demand for apples, bananas, and peaches are –0.9, –1.6, and –0.8, respectively. Assume that all else is identical in these three products and that an identical tax is levied on each good. Rank the products from highest to lowest...

9.When price increase from $43 to $49, quantity supplied increases from 220 units to 240 units. The price elasticity of supply in this price range is (use the Midpoint Formula): Multiple Choice a.0.3 b.0.67 c.1.5 d.3.33 10. When any change in price results in an infinite change in quantity demanded: Multiple Choice a.price elasticity of supply is zero. b.demand is perfectly elastic. c.demand is perfectly inelastic. d.price elasticity of supply is infinite. 12. Over a longer period of time: Multiple...
(67)Suppose that when the price of cherries is $10 per lb, the quantity supplied of cherries is 20 lbs. When price of cherries is $6 per lb, the quantity supplied of cherries is 12 lbs. The price elasticity of supply is: (a)1.7 (b)1.0 (c)2.5 (d)0.8 (68)If an excise tax is placed on the producer of a product that has a perfectly inelastic demand, given ceteris paribus then: (a)The entire tax will be paid by the producer (b)The consumer and producer...
