Suppose there is a market that has market demand characterized as X = 30 - P/3.
Suppose further that market supply can be written as X = P/2 - 2.
(A)Find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market.
(B)If a unit tax of $16 is imposed on good X,what are the equilibrium price,quantity,and tax revenue in the market?
(C)Suppose an ad valorem tax of 30 percent is imposed on good X.The after-tax demand equation would be X = 30 - P/2.Now find the equilibrium price,quantity,and tax revenue in the market.
(D)What can be said about the amount of tax revenue generated under each taxing scheme,and why?
