During the COVID-19 pandemic, alcohol consumption increased dramatically. In response, the government is considering increasing the tax rate on alcohol. It's known that the demand for alcohol is inelastic, and the supply of alcohol is perfectly elastic. Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.) Question 5Answer a. A tax on alcohol is one way to make consumer internalize the cost of the externalities associated with drinking, such as long-term health implications. b. Regardless of how the tax is implemented, consumers will pay the full amount of the tax. c. It doesn't matter how the tax is implemented. d. Consumers and suppliers will split the burden of the tax. e. The government will collect more revenue if the tax is on the suppliers. f. Alcohol consumption will decrease more in the short-run than in the long-run. g. Alcohol consumption will decrease more in the long-run than in the short-run. h. There are positive…

When does a subsidy that benefits consumers result in a more efficient allocation of a resource? A when the good being produced or consumed is not scarce B when the good being produced or consumed generates a negative externality when the good being produced or consumed generates a positive externality D when the equilibrium price of the good is one that consumers don't like

Some economists argue that early child care generates an external benefit to society. Consider the following supply-and-demand graph for early childhood education. A. How does the market equilibrium differ from what is best for society? B. If the government was going to provide a per-unit subsidy in this market in order to achieve the socially optimal outcome, how large of a subsidy would the government ne to provide? C. How much in total would the government need to spend in this market each month to achieve a socially optimal outcome? Price ($ per month) Supply $1,300 $1,200 $1,000 $900 Marginal social benefit Marginal private benefit (demand) 23 26 Quantity (millions per month)

Considermarketforagoodcharacterizedbythefollowinginverse demand and supply functions: PX = 10 − 2QX and PX = 2 + 2QX.a. Compute the surplus received by consumers and producers.b. Now suppose all manufacturers of this good are to pay a lump tax of $0.10that will be used by the government regulators to defray some of the environmental cost imposed by this good’s production. What will be the new surplus received by consumers and producers?c. Based on your results in part ‘b’ above, how will you evaluate the impact of this tax policy on the society? Explain
A) Figure 10-1 (above)- For the described negative externality, what is the market Price/Quantity combination without any efforts to correct the market? B) Figure 10-1 (above)- For the described negative externality, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity if the government imposes a tax to remedy the negative externality (don't use exact numbers)? C) For a negative externality, briefly explain why and how the governmentmay get involved in the market. In your response, provide an example (type of product or service).
