3. A given household displays a demand function expressed by qD = 50 - 5P. The price he currently faces is P = 2.
a) Represent on a graph the consumer surplus enjoyed by this household and determine the actual dollar value of that surplus.
b) Suppose that in result of a tax imposed by the government this household now faces a price P* = 4. Represent on a graph the change taking place in this household's surplus and compute the dollar value of this change.

4. Suppose the market for grass seed can be expressed as: Demand: Qd = 200 - 5P Supply: Qs = 40 + 5P If the government collects a $5 specific tax from sellers (here you can change the supply equation to Qs = 40 + 5(P-t) or Qs = 15+ 5P, How much will the quantity demanded change from the amount demanded before the tax? What price will consumers pay after the tax? What price will sellers receive after the...
