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...
1. Suppose that corn currently costs $4 per bushel and that wheat currently costs $3 per bushel. Also assume that the price elasticity of corn is 0.10, while the price elasticity of wheat is 0.15 Both have an income elasticity of 0.10. If the price of corn fell by 25 percent to $3 per bushel, by what percentage would the quantity demanded of corn increase? What if the price of wheat fell by 33 percent to $2 per bushel? a....
1. The quantity of apricots demanded at price p is given by q = 36 - 4p and the supply schedule is q = 2p. The government imposes a quantity tax at some rate t, which it collects from buyers. What is the smallest tax rate that will result in no apricots being bought or sold at equilibrium)?
The demand and supply curves for a product are given in terms of price, p, by q = 2600 - 20p and q = 10p - 400 A. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. B. A specific tax of $12 per unit is imposed on suppliers. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity. The new equilibrium price (including tax) is $______ and the new equilibrium quantity is ______ units. C. How much of the $12 tax is paid by consumers...

At a price of $2.26 per bushel, the supply of a certain grain is 7200 million bushels and the demand is 7800 million bushels. At a price of $2.31 per bushel, the supply is 7600 million bushels and the demand is 7700 million bushels. (A) Find a price-supply equation of the form p = mx + b, where p is the price in dollars and x is the supply in millions of bushels. (B) Find a price-demand equation of the...
