When there are no apricots purchased or sold at the new equilibrium it simply means that q = 0. For the supply function this implies that the price will be 0. For the demand function this implies 36 - 4p = 0 or p = 9
Therefore that tax wedge between the price consumers are going to pay and the price sellers are going to receive is 9 - 0 = $9. This is the minimum tax rate which ensures that there is no quantity sold at the equilibrium
Therefore the answer is $9.

1. The quantity of apricots demanded at price p is given by q = 36 -...

The demand function for an oligopolistic market is given by the equation, Q = 275 – 4P, where Q is quantity demanded and P is price (Note: inverse demand for the dominant firm here is P = 50 - .2Q). The industry has one dominant firm whose marginal cost function is: MC = 12 + 0.7QD, and many small firms, with a total supply function: QS = 25 + P. In equilibrium, the total output of all small firms is
