Public Finance 2010 Problem Set 2 Taxation and Efficiency
Task 1 Suppose there are two goods, X and Y and their prices are Px =1 LVL and Py=1 LVL. Assume that the marginal social cost functions for both goods are constant. Consumer’s utility function is U=X2Y. (a) If an individual’s income is LVL 150, draw the initial budget constraint on the graph, labeled BC0 and label the initial consumption point A. How much of EACH good is this consumer consuming at point A? (b) If the government places a 50% tax on good X, show the new budget constraint (BC1) and new consumption point C. How much of EACH good is this consumer consuming at point C? (c) Estimate the amount of the tax collected. (d) Estimate the equivalent variation. (e) What is the amount of excess burden? Explain in words what your answer means. Task 2 Assume that there are two sectors, corporate and non-corporate. The value of marginal product of capital in the corporate sector, VMPc, is given by VMPc = 100 – Kc, where Kc is the amount of capital in the corporate sector, and the value of the marginal product of capital in non-corporate sector, Kn, is given by VMPn = 80 – 2Kn, where Kn is the amount of capital in the non-corporate sector. Altogether there are 50 units of capital in society. (a) In the absence of any taxes, how much capital is in the corporate sector and how much in the non-corporate sector? (b) Suppose that a unit tax of 6 is levied on capital employed in the corporate sector. After the tax, how much capital is employed in each sector? What is the excess burden of the tax? Task 3 In an effort to reduce alcohol consumption, the government is considering a $1 tax on each gallon of liquor sold (the tax is levied on producers). Suppose that the supply curve for liquor is upward sloping and its equation is Q = 30000P (where Q is the number of gallons of liquor and P the price per gallon). The demand curve for liquor is Q = 500000 – 20000P. (a) Draw a sketch to illustrate the excess burden of the tax. Next use algebra to calculate the excess burden. Show graphically the excess burden generated by the $1 unit tax. (b) Suppose that each gallon of liquor consumed generates a negative external cost of $0.50. How does this affect the excess burden associated with the unit tax on liquor?
