Suppose we know the following market demand and supply curves for some commodity:
q^d = 1,000,000 - 50,000p
q^s = 100,000 + 75,000p
a. calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. draw a graph showing this result.
b. suppose the government decides to tax the commodity using a $0.50 per unit tax on consumers.
a. what are the new price and quantity in the market and what is the government's tax revenue? graph this solution on your graph above.
b. what is the consumer's tax burden and the producer's tax burden?
c. what is the deadweight loss from this policy?

Which of the following statements is correct? stockholders should generally be happier than bondholders to have managers invest in risky projects with high potential returns as opposed to safe projects with lower expected returns. potential conflicts between stockholders and bondholders are increased if a firm's bonds are convertible into its common stock. takeovers are most likely to be attempted if the target firm’s stock price is above its intrinsic value. one advantage of operating a business as a corporation is that stockholders can deduct their pro rata share of the taxes the firm pays, thereby eliminating the double taxation investors would face in a partnership.
