The price elasticity of supply for a product is 3, while the price elasticity of demand is -1. In equilibrium, price is 6 (in hundreds of dollars) and quantity consumed is 2 (in thousands of units). (a) Assuming supply and demand are linear, reconstruct and draw the supply and demand curves. Label the intercepts. (b) If a subsidy of $1 per unit is imposed what are PB and PS after the subsidy? What is the new equilibrium quantity? Illustrate them...
The market demand for a good is given by P = 250 – 0.5Q, where P is the price ($ per unit) and Q is the quantity demanded (units). The market supply is given by P = 20 + 0.5Q. Each unit of the good produced generates a positive externality given by MV = 80 – 0.1Q, where MV is the marginal value ($ per unit) the third party receives as an externality and Q is the quantity of the...
Question 24 The equilibrium quantity in the market for Apple watches has been 750 per month. Then a tax of $7 per watch is imposed.

The market for cigarettes is equilibrium at p=$6 and quantity
of 200 (million of packs per day). Suppose a $2/pack tax is imposed
that causes equilibrium quantity to go down to 150 (million of
packs per day).
Calculate the tax incidence i.e. share of the tax paid by
consumers & producers
Calculate the consumer surplus before and after the tax
Calculate the deadweight loss of the tax
Calculate the tax revenue of the tax
Price/ pack $7.50 $6 $5.50
