    Supply is impacted because producers have to charge a higher price (price + tax). In this case it is a $3 tax above the market equilibrium price. At a higher price quantity demanded is less. The producers (or supply) actually on gets $6, so they are willing to supply less.

    Elastic products are products that have a lot of choices, such as cell phones these days. Another good choice would be wine. While alcohol is regulated and taxes wine is elastic because there are so many choices and no one firm dominates the market.

    another option would be transportation (airline tickets are heavily taxes), gasoline (if you drive), train tickets, or even a bus ticket. These are all modes of transportation that are taxed.

    • @ashishkumar-pp8et
      @ashishkumar-pp8et 9 лет назад

      this taxation policy is of indirect taxes on a good.. e.g. sales tax or production tax or service tax.... so these taxes affect supply as it is increases the cost of suppliers...

    • @captainabredu7293
      @captainabredu7293 5 лет назад

      It is because the tax imposition is mainly effected on the supplier or producer which directly affects the quantity supply of goods and price as well.

  • @economicsfun
    @economicsfun  11 лет назад

    Oscar, I am not sure I understand your question. The actual calculation would depend on the elasticity of demand and how sensitive demand is to changes in price. If demand is inelastic, then a tax will have little impact. If demand is elastic small tax will have a large impact.

  • @economicsfun

    VAT is going to be split between consumers and producers. VAT is just another form of retail tax. Too much VAT will causes prices to be higher and thus less of a product or service will be demanded.

    The government is interested in taxing sugar in order to increase its tax revenue. The market is currently at equilibrium at a price of Ksh. 10 per kg and sales of 1000 kgs per month. Suppose that own price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium point is 0.1 and the own price elasticity of supply at this point is 0.2. The government announces that the tax measure with the new market price to be maintained at Ksh 15 per kg.Required(a) Compute and show the suppliers and buyers tax burden.(b) How much will the government get from the new tax measure?(c) Calculate the dead weight loss of the tax (excess burden of the tax).

    It’s not clear why you calculate the tax payable per unit as the difference between the new equilibrium price and the old equilibrium price. The $8 price is not attainable after the the tax is introduced so I don’t understand why you use it to calculate the tax burdens.

    If a tax is levied on the consumer, would the tax be added to the demand curve? or is it still added to supply?

    • @economicsfun
      @economicsfun  11 лет назад +1

      Typically a tax levied on a consumer is a retail tax and yes it would be applied to the demand curve. A retail tax increases the price of a good and will reduce the quantity demanded of that product as well.

    Thank you very much, I have a question for this if you could help me that would be great. I have a start equilibrium price of 5 and equilibrium quantity of 4, we are told that the government now levies a per unit tax, the impact of which is to reduce the supply of the good at any price by 3 units. The new equilibrium price is 5.5 and equilibrium quantity is 2. How can I estimate the consumer and producer burden? Is this OK? consumer burden (5.5-5)*2 =1 producer burden (5.5-4)*2=3, I have doubt with the producer burden. Thank you very much

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    • @MichaelSaull
      @MichaelSaull 7 лет назад

      Because they have to buy a certain quantity no matter the price. For example say you need to drink 2 litres of water a day to survive you will have to get that two litres no matter what so if the price increases you still need to buy 2 litres.
      In the other situations you can start to consume less or find alternatives as the price goes up. So for example if the price of broccoli goes up you can buy less of it and buy more cauliflower instead. This means your demand for the good is flexible and depends a lot more on the price.

    The impact of sales tax on the consumer depends on the elasticity of demand and supply. State three products in Canada that are subjected to sales tax. Who bears the burden of these taxes? Why? If necessary illustrate with diagrams.
    For this question, I have chosen 3 products as gasoline, cigarettes and alcohol as there is much to research and write about them..... (continued)

  • @JamesOGant
    @JamesOGant 8 лет назад

    What about cycles? With one inelastic demand and one elastic demand which are variable or moving along the horizontal or vertical you will get limit cycles, and how would taxes be affected? Also how is speculation modeled in this? Possibly with one isocline for actual supply and one for inflated supply. How can someone account for when the speculation price will likely crash? I don't understand why economics is not teaching these kinds of ideas because the students are being indoctrinated to unrealistic short term worldviews based on the use of incomplete math applications.

    • @mateocardoner8608
      @mateocardoner8608 10 лет назад +1

      Because the product is inelastic, that means that for a great increase in price there will be a smaller decrease in quantity demanded, that is because cigarettes are addictive, and gasoline is a necessity. So the producers know that they can pass most of the tax to the consumers and they still will buy cigarettes or gasoline.
