Suppose that a local government is considering placing a tax on the rental of rooms on Airbnb. Before the tax, the total revenue earned by hosts using Airbnb was $10,000,000 per year. a) If the government imposes a 10% tax on these rooms, will they earn more or less than $1,000,000 in tax revenue if the market is assumed to be perfectly competitive? b) Will local residents who rent their homes (as tenants) benefit from this policy? (Use a diagram to explain) c) Does your answer to a) or b) change if there are a fixed (and small) number of rooms available to rent in the area?
Imagine you are the owner of the Omaha Surfboard Company. You have a branch in Omaha and in Long Beach CA. After some market research you find the following surfboard demand for each market, Omaha Demand: Qo = 1000 – 10P Long Beach Demand: QL = 1000 – 5P Combined/Total Demand: Q = 2000 – 15P Your marginal cost is constant at $40. a. Find your price and quantity if you treated the market as a single entity with a single price. What is your profit? (Hint: find Marginal Revenue and set equal to MC) b. If you treat each market separately, what is P and Quantity in each market, and final profit?

In this perfectly competitive environment, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity? Explain this in words and show it graphically. What are the profit per firm, producer surplus and consumer surplus that correspond to your answer to part d)? How much would you be willing to pay to keep the government from taking your monopoly away? Explain.
