Problem 6-9 Demand change effects on government revenue The market for Titanium has supply given by P = Q and demand given by P = 12 - Q. The government introduces a tax of €3/g. Yet, the market experiences growth in the demand for titanium because of new-found medical uses. The new demand curve is P= 13 - Q. Find the change in government tax revenue due to the increased demand for titanium. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (11) € million

Federal excise taxes on gasoline vary widely across the developed world. The United States has the lowest taxes at USD $0.40 per gallon (or Â£0.07 per liter), Canada has taxes of $0.60 per gallon, Japan and much of Europe is $2.00 per gallon, while Britain has the highest tax at $2.83 a gallon or Â£0.5 per liter. If gasoline taxes are intended to reduce the time losses from road congestion in urban environments and gasoline pre-tax costs about Â£0.40 per liter, why might the optimal tax in Canada be 50 percent higher than in the United States? What would be an explanation for why adjacent countries would have such different estimates of the price elasticity of demand for auto driving?16

Calculate the percentage of the tax borne by the demander and supplier in each of the following cases:Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to the nearest whole number. Elasticityof demand Elasticityof supply Percent borne by demander Percent borne by supplier a. ED = 0.1 ES = 0.5 % % b. ED = 1.0 ES = 2.0 % % c. ED = 1.3 ES = 0.9 % % d. ED = 1.9 ES = 0.7 % % e. Summarize your findings regarding relative elasticity and tax burden. Consumers bear a greater portion of the tax burden because consumers choose to buy the good. Whichever group (producers or consumers) has the lower elasticity bears the greater portion of the tax burden. Whichever group (producers or consumers) has the higher elasticity bears the greater portion of the tax burden. Producers usually bear a greater portion of the tax burden because the government generally levies more taxes on producers.
Supply fucntion: QS=200P-700 Demand function: Qd=3000-100p If a goverment want to reduce the quantity of units sold to 500, what is the price per unit tax?
The equation of demand is Q=10000-5p, supply is Q=-2000+10p Q represents the quantity of houses on the market and P the rental price. The equilibriumrental price equals 800 euros per month. if the government increase the supply of rental houses, by building 3,000 extra houses,What are the effects of each measure for both house owners and people renting ahouse? And what are the consequences for the government? Analyse the measuresgraphically and mathematically.
