Suppose car-ride services (Uber, Lyft, etc.) are untaxed. The NYC government then decides to impose a new tax of $2 per ride on suppliers of these services (drivers). The market is competitive, with downward-sloping demand and upward-sloping supply curves. Answer true, false, or uncertain and explain in 1 sentence each. (Diagrams are not required, but may be useful.) i. This tax will raise the price consumers pay for car rides. ii. This tax will reduce consumer surplus in the market for...

PROBLEM #2 Suppose a coastal city decides to impose a per-unit tax on luxury yachts to generate funds to support a wind-farm power project. Consumers in the market for luxury yachts typically monitor the price of yachts well in advance of purchasing them, given the significance of the cost of a yacht relative to their income. Yacht suppliers use equipment and resources that are uniquely suited to producing high-end yachts, and are unable to easily switch to producing other types...
