2. The market for tires is perfectly competitive, and the demand for tires is given by the function D(p) = 8/p while the market supply of tires is given by the function S(p s ) = 2p s where p s = p − t is the producer price and t is the excise tax rate. Calculate the equilibrium price of tires when there is no tax, and when the tax is t = 3. What do you conclude about the economic incidence of this tax? (Hint: Yes, you need to use the quadratic equation (use the positive root) – Google it!).

For a perfectly competitive market, daily demand for a good is given by P-10-Q, where P ¡s price and Q is quantity. Supply is given by P = 2 + Q. Suppose the government imposes an excise tax of $2 on sellers in the market. (An excise tax is a tax per unit.) (a) What is the original (before the tax) producer surplus and (b)new (after the tax) producer surplus?
Suppose that in a perfectly competitive market, demand is given by Q=58.0-P and supply is given by Q=P-27.0. The government imposes a per-unit excise tax of $1 on the good. What is producer surplus after the tax is imposed? No units, no rounding.
