Suppose a public referendum is being held on whether or not to levy a tax on cigarettes. Currently, the supply of cigarettes is given by Qs = -100 + 20P. You estimate the demand for cigarettes to be Qd = 200 - 5P.You are asked to evaluate the likely effects of a tax on cigarettes equal to $1 per pack of cigarettes. Specifically, you are to file a report which predicts by how much this will reduce the amount of cigarettes sold. You are also asked to estimate the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the cigarette companies (sellers), and the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the smokers (consumers) of cigarettes.To do this, you will first need to calculate the current price and quantity of cigarettes sold.a) (6 points) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of cigarettes? Next you know from your economics class that you will need to know the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes. (Note: for parts b-e, please leave your answers in the form of a fraction.)b) (6 points) What is the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes at the equilibrium price?c) (6 points) What is the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes at the equilibrium price?Using your answers to b) and c), you are now able to determine what proportion of the tax will be paid by buyers, and what proportion of the tax will be paid by sellers.d) (6 points) What proportion of the tax will be paid by sellers?e) (6 points) What price will buyers pay after the tax is imposed?f) (6 points) What quantity of cigarettes will be sold after the tax??Finally, a new proposal suggests that the tax should be levied on the cigarette companies instead of the smokers.g) (6 points) From what you have learned in this class, how should you respond to this proposal?

During the 1950s, the United States imported wool from Great
Britain, exporting wheat, while Great Britain imported wheat from
the United States, exporting wool. In 1957 Hungarian-American
economist Bela Balassa compared the production of wool and wheat in
the United States and Great Britain. For both of these products,
Balassa found that the United States could produce a larger amount
of output than Great Britain. Some American politicians used this
result to argue that there was no gain to the United States from
continuing to import wool from Great Britain. Were the American
politicians correct? Explain whether or not gains from free trade
exist when one of the trading countries has the absolute
advantage in producing both goods. Explain why or why not gains
from trade would exist in this case and what determines whether
gains from trade exist

Short Essay Question - GDP (10 pts)
Note: This question on the test will be graded manually.
One of the key macroeconomic variables that you have studied in this course is gross domestic product
(GDP).
This macroeconomic variable has been in the economic news headlines frequently here in the US and around the world during this current global COVID-19 pandemic. As data are collected and early estimates of GDP released, we do not yet know the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the US economy. However, early reports provide some evidence that GDP in the US and around the world has been, and will continue to be, greatly affected.
One approach to measuring GDP is to divide it into four major categories of expenditures: consumption, investment, government expenditures and net exports. Briefly explain how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected 3 of the 4 categories of expenditures of GDP. Comment on the direction and magnitude of the impact to each of the three types of expenditure you discuss. Label each part as a, b and c.
