4 Section II: Essay Problems Give clear, well-written answers to the questions below. Use graphs if appropriate. Please make sure your graphs are legible and label all parts of the graph (e.g., axes, lines, etc.). You will not receive full credit if the graphs are illegible. 1. (5 points) Someone has to pay for road repair in Delaware. Should the state of Delaware levy a percentage sales tax on some good that is related to road use, like gasoline, or should they collect an equal amount with an income tax? Which option would leave the taxpayers better off? Use indifference curve and budget line analysis to show how economic analysis can help answer these questions. (Put gasoline on horizontal axis and all other goods on vertical axis.) Page 4 of 8
5 2. (5 points) Suppose that the marginal cost of producing output, q, in the short-run for a competitive firm is SMC = 10 + q. The market demand for the product is P = Q D, and the market supply is P = Q S. a. What are the short-run market equilibrium price and quantity and the number of firms in the industry? Show your calculations. b. Suppose that each firm minimizes its LRAC at an output of 5 units and at an average cost of $15/unit. What are the long-run equilibrium price, market demand quantity, and the number of firms in the industry? Show your work. Page 5 of 8
6 3. (10 points) Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is Q D = P, and the supply curve is Q S = 10P. The government imposes a specific tax of $1 per unit. a. Under the imposition of the tax, what is the equilibrium quantity? What price do sellers receive? What price do consumers pay? Illustrate the equilibrium in a graph. b. What effect does this tax have on consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, overall welfare, and deadweight loss? (Compare the no tax scenario to the tax scenario.) Clearly identify the deadweight loss in your graph. Page 6 of 8
7 4. (15 points) Suppose a monopolist has a cost structure such that TC = Q 2 + 4Q + 10 and MC = 2Q + 4 and face demand such that P = 20 - Q D and MR = 20-2Q D. a. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity? Show the price and quantity in a graph. b. What is the profit that the monopolist earns? Show the profit clearly in your graph. c. What is the elasticity of demand at the profit-maximizing price and quantity? At this point, is the demand elastic or inelastic? Page 7 of 8
8 5. (5 points) Name three factors that a firm must do or have to make price discrimination successful. Briefly explain the reason behind each factor. Page 8 of 8
