Demand and supply in a market are described by the equations Qd = 66-3P Qs = -4+2P Solve algebraically to find equilibrium P and Q In equilibrium Qd = Qs 66-3P = -4+2P -3P-2P = -4-66 -5P = -70 5P = 70 P* = 14 Qd = Qs = 66-3P = 66-3(14) = 66-42 = 24 = Q* How would a per unit sales tax t affect this equilibrium and comment on how the tax is shared between producers and consumers Sales tax reduces suppliers price by t (P-t) Supply curve becomes: Qs = -4+2(P-t) In equilibrium Qd = Qs 66-3P = -4+2(P-t) 66-3P = -4+2P-2t -3P-2P = -4-2t-66 -5P = -70-2t 5P = 70+2t P = 14+2/5t Qd = Qs = 66-3P = 66-3(14+2/5t) = 66-42-6/5t = 24-6/5t Equilibrium price increases by 2/5 of the tax. This implies that the supplier absorbs 3/5 of the tax and receives a price P-3/5t for its goods. The consumer pays 2/5 of the tax. Equilibrium quantity falls by 6/5t. What is the equilibrium P and Q if the per unit tax is t=5 t = 5, Qs = -4+2(P-5) = -4+2P-10 = -14+2P In equilibrium Qd = Qs 66-3P = -14+2P -5P = -14-66 -5P = -80 5P = 80 P = 16 (i.e. 14+2/5t) Qd = Qs = 66-3P = 66-3(16) = 18 (i.e. 24-6/5t) (iv) Illustrate the pre-tax equilibrium and the post-tax equilibrium on a graph Qd = 66-3P Qs = -4+2P Let P = 0 Let P = 22 Qd = 66 Qs = -4+2(22) = -4+44 = 40 P = 22-Qd/3 (Inverse Demand) P = 2+Qs/2 (Inverse Supply) Let Qd = 0 Let Qs = 0 P = 22 P = 2 Qs = -14+2P Let P = 22 Qs = -14+2(22) = -14+44 = 30 P = 7+Qs/2 Let Qs = 0 P = 7  EMBED Excel.Chart.8 \s  Fill in equilibrium before tax, equilibrium after tax, amount paid by consumer, amount paid by producer. 2. The demand and supply functions of a good are given by Qd = 110-5P Qs = 6P where P, Qd and Qs denote price, quantity demanded and quantity supplied respectively. (i) Find the inverse demand and supply functions Qd = 110-5P 5P = 110-Qd P = 110-Qd/5 Qs = 6P P = Qs/6 (ii) Find the equilibrium price and quantity Solve simultaneously: Qd = 110-5P Qs = 6P At equilibrium Qd = Qs 110-5P = 6P Collect the terms -5P-6P = -110 11P = 110 P = 110/11 P = 10 Solve for Q* Qd = Qs = 6P = 6(10) = 60 = Q* 3. Demand and supply in a market are described by the equations Qd = 120-8P Qs = -6+4P Solve algebraically to find equilibrium P and Q Qd = Qs 120-8P =-6+4P -8P-4P = -6-120 -12P = -126 12P = 126 P* = 10.5 Qd = Qs = 120-8P = 120-8(10.5) = 120-84 = 36 = Q* How would a per unit sales tax t affect this equilibrium and comment on how the tax is shared between producers and consumers Supply price becomes P-t Supply function becomes Qs = -6+4(P-t) Solve for equilibrium Qd = Qs 120-8P = -6+4(P-t) 120-8P = -6+4P-4t -8P-4P = -120-6-4t -12P = -126-4t 12P = 126+4t P = 10.5+4t/12 P = 10.5+t/3 Qd = Qs = 120-8(10.5+t/3) = Q* Q* = 120-84-8t/3 Q* = 36-8/3t The impact of the tax will therefore be to increase equilibrium price by 1/3 and reduce equilibrium quantity by 8/3. Since 1/3 of tax is passed on to the consumer the supplier pays 2/3 of the tax. What is the equilibrium P and Q if the per unit tax is 4.5 P = 10.5+t/3 P = 10.5+4.5/3 P = 10.5+1.5 P = 12 Supplier gets 10.5-2/3t = 10.5-3 = 7.5 Q = 36-8/3t Q = 36-8/3(4.5) Q = 36-12 Q = 24 4. At a price of 15, and an average income of 40, the demand for CDs was 36. When the price increased to 20, with income remaining unchanged at 40, the demand for CDs fell to 21. When income rose to 60, at the original price 15, demand rose to 40. i) Find the linear function which describes this demand behaviour General Form: Qd = a+bP+cY P = 15, Qd = 36, Y = 40 P = 15, Qd = 40, Y = 60 P = 20, Qd = 21, Y = 40 Eq1 36 = a+15b+40c Eq2 40 = a+15b+60c Eq3 21 = a+20b+40c Solve Simultaneously Eq1 36 = a+15b+40c Eq2 40 = a+15b+60c STEP 1 a = 36-15b-40c a = 40-15b-60c STEP 2 36-15b-40c = 40-15b-60c STEP 3 -15b+15b-40c+60c = 40-36 20c = 4 c = 4/20 = 1/5 STEP 4 Eq1 36 = a+15b+40(1/5) 36 = a+15b+8 36-8 = a+15b 28 = a+15b Eq3 21=a+20b+40(1/5) 21-8 = a+20b 13 = a+20b STEP 1 Eq1 28=a+15b Eq2 13=a+20b a = 28-15b a = 13-20b STEP 2 28-15b = 13-20b STEP 3 -15b+20b = 13-28 5b = -15 b = -3 STEP 4 a = 28-15b a = 28-15(-3) a = 28+45 a = 73 General Form Qd = a+bP+cY Qd = 73-3P+1/5Y ii) Given the supply function Qs = -7+2P find the equations which describe fully the comparative statics of the model. Qd = 73-3P+1/5Y Qs = -7+2P In equilibrium Qd = Qs 73-3P+1/5Y = -7+2P -3P-2P = -7-73-1/5Y 5P = 80+1/5Y P* = 16+1/25Y Qd = Qs = -7+2P = -7+2(16+1/25Y) = -7+32+2/25Y = 25+2/25Y = Q* iii) What would e02  @ G I  ~     @ A B C D Ͼϭ雑雑hbB*H*phhbB*H*phhbB*ph hbH* hbH* hGhbB*H*mHphsH hGhbB*H*mHphsHhGhbB*mHphsHhGhbmHsHhb hb5\h3hh=]012r   H I & F 8gdb  9r 8gdb 8gdb & F 8gdb 85^5`gdb 88^8`gdb$a$$a$7N7  1 C T f s ~   ( 5 ?
