Consider the property tax model. Assume that housing supply curve is upward sloping. Draw the following two diagrams.
1) a diagram showing equilibrium before the property tax on housing. Indicate equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus on the diagram.
2) a diagram showing how equilibrium changes due to the property tax on housing. Specifically, mark the original equilibrium before tax, the new equilibrium after tax, tax burdens borne by developer and households, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government tax revenue, and deadweight loss due to the tax.

A 7800 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.15 m/s2 and feels no appreciable air resistance. When it has reached a height of 575 m , its engines suddenly fail so that the only force acting on it is now gravity. A) What is the maximum height this rocket will reach above the launch pad? b)How much time after engine failure will elapse before the rocket comes crashing down to the launch pad? c)How fast will it be moving just before it crashes?

A 7450 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25 m/s2 and feels no appreciable air resistance. When it has reached a height of 500 m , its engines suddenly fail so that the only force acting on it is now gravity.

A. What is the maximum height this rocket will reach above the launch pad?

B. How much time after engine failure will elapse before the rocket comes crashing down to the launch pad?

C. How fast will it be moving just before it crashes?

The social media industry is highly monopolistic with Facebook, users provide Facebook (and 3rd-party companies) with huge amounts of data in exchange for access to the platform. provides Facebook’s algorithms with a clear picture of your preferences or demand for certain goods/services.
