Suppose an economist estimates that the price elasticity of supply for red wine is2.4 while its price elasticity of demand is -4.0.If the government decides to impost a per-unit sales tax of $40 per bottle of redwine, how would the market price for red wine be affected? Show yourcalculation.
The government has increased VAT on some commodities in order to raise revenue. The market for commodity X was at equilibrim before tax at price Ksh. 50 per unit sold and the quantity was 5000 units. Suppose own price elasticity of demand is 0.6 and the elasticity of supply is 1.1 After the government announced tax measures the new market price increased to Ksh. 70 per unit. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantities before tax. Calculate the seller and buyers burden, Explain

The demand and supply equations for a product are: Q* = 0.2 300 – 6P and Q' = -40 + 6P. Determine the market equilibrium and draw graphs. Suppose that the government decides to impose a flat tax of 10% on each unit sold. Show that the price that consumers pay would be the same if the government imposed a tax of Rs. 1.70 per unit sold. Draw graphs and explain. Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producers surplus and dead weight loss.
