Governments often place so-called sin taxes on goods or services such as cigarettes and alcohol. These kinds of taxes are popular with politicians because they are usually more palatable to voters than income taxes.
To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for rum, which is shown on the following graph.
NOTE: the fill in blank options are (increases by a greater and greater amount, increases and then decreases, or increases at a constant rate)
Two months ago, on July 1, 2019, the State of Illinois raised gasoline taxes by $.19 (19 cents) per gallon of gas.
Graphically depict the market for Illinois gasoline prior to the July 2019 increase in gasoline tax. Clearly indicate equilibrium Q and P on the graph.

It is a hot day, and Jake is thirsty. Here is the value he places on a bottle of water:
Value of first bottle:
$8
Value of second bottle: $6
Value of third bottle:
$4
Value of fourth bottle: $2
From this information, complete the following table by deriving Jake''s demand schedule.
Price
Quantity Demanded
More than $8
$6.01 to $8
$4.01 to $6
$2.01 to $4
$2 or fewer

Now suppose that the government requires beer drinkers to pay a total tax (sales tax plus alcohol duty) of €0.50 on every pint of beer purchased. a) Draw a supply-and-demand diagram of the market for beer without the tax. Show the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of beer sold. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by producers?b)Now draw a supply-and-demand diagram for the beer market with the tax. Show the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of beer sold. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by producers? Has the quantity of beer sold increased or decreased?arrow_forwardThe following graph shows Andrew's weekly demand for apple pie, represented by the blue line. Point A represents a point along his weekly demand curve. The market price of apple pie is $3.00 per slice, as shown by the horizontal black line. (Part 2) From the previous graph, you can tell that Andrew is willing to pay for his 8th slice of apple pie each week. Because he has to pay only $3.00 per slice, the consumer surplus he gains from the 8th slice of apple pie is Suppose the price of apple pie were to fall to $2.25 per slice. At this lower price, Andrew would receive a consumer surplus of from the 8th slice of apple pie he buys. The following graph shows the weekly market demand for apple pie in a small economy. Use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus when the price (P) of apple pie is $3.00 per slice. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing additional consumer surplus when the price…arrow_forward
