Consider the market for potatoes. You can assume perfect
competition.
It is known that the market equilibrium price is $3 per kg and the
market equilibrium quantity is 100,000 kg. It is known that when
the price is $3 price elasticity of demand is 0.4 and price
elasticity of supply is 1.1. Assume that initially the market for
potatoes is in equilibrium.
a) Draw a diagram with (downward-sloping) demand and
(upward-sloping) supply schedules. Indicate the market equilibrium,
consumer surplus, producer surplus and the dead-weight loss.
(Remember the relation between elasticity and the absolute slope of
the demand and supply schedules. You do not have to be precise,
just make sure it is clear which schedule is steeper).
You answer.
b) If the price increases by 5% what would be the percentage change of quantity demanded? What would be the new quantity demanded? If the price increases from $3 to $3.03 what would be the new quantity producers would be willing to supply?
You answer.
c) The government decides to introduce a 10% tax on the price of potatoes. How would such a decision affect the equilibrium price (paid by consumers) and the equilibrium quantity? Explain using a clearly labelled graph. (Note that you are not required to calculate anything in this question.)
You answer.
d) What would happen to consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and the dead-weight loss when the 10% tax on the price of potatoes is implemented. Explain. Show the new consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and the dead-weight loss on the graph in part c). Who bears higher tax burden, consumers or producers? Explain.
