Suppose the inverse demand for gasoline is given by
p=10-QD/2.
a. Find the equilibrium price and quantity assuming supply is
perfectly elastic and given by
MC=3.
In the U.S., gasoline is taxed on a per gallon basis, and the tax
is paid by suppliers. Suppose the
tax is $0.5 per gallon of gasoline.
b. After the tax is imposed, what is the new equilibrium price and
quantity? How much revenue
is raised by the tax?
c. What is the tax burden on consumers and producers? (in other
words, what portion of the tax
is borne by consumers, what portion is born by producers?) How do
these compare and why?
Calculate the deadweight loss of the tax.
d. Suppose the tax is increased from $0.5 to $1 per gallon. What is
the new equilibrium, and
how much revenue is raised? What is the extra deadweight loss
associated with this tax increase?
How does the deadweight loss of the tax increase from $0.5 to $1
compare to the deadweight
loss from a tax increase from $0 to $0.5? Why is this the case?
e. Repeat parts (b) and (c) assuming that the tax, rather than
being collected from suppliers, is
actually collected from gasoline consumers.
f. Repeat parts (a)-(c) assuming that the marginal cost curve is
instead given by MC = Q/2. How
does the incidence of the tax compare to what you found in (c)?
Why?

Greencastle Interiors, an interior design company, has
experienced a drop in business due to an increase in interest rates
and a corresponding slowdown in remodeling projects. To stimulate
business, the company is considering exhibiting at the Middleton
Home and Garden Expo. The exhibit will cost the company $14,870 for
space. At the show, Greencastle Interiors will present a slide show
on a laptop, pass out brochures that were printed previously (the
company printed more than needed), and show its portfolio of
previous jobs.
The company estimates that revenue will increase by $40,270 over
the next year as a result of the exhibit. For the previous year,
profit was as follows:
| Revenue | $212,391 | ||||
