Suppose that a market is described by the following supply and demand equations:
QS = 2P
QD = 300 – P
- Solve for the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.
- Suppose that a tax of T is placed on buyers, so the new demand equation is
QD = 300 – (P + T).
Solve for the new equilibrium. What happens to the price received by sellers, the price paid by buyers, and the quantity sold?
- Tax revenue is T X Q. Use your answer to part (b) to solve for tax revenue as a function of T. Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300.
- The deadweight loss of a tax is the area of the triangle between the supply and
demand curves. Recalling that the area of a triangle is 1 ⁄2 x base x height, solve for deadweight loss as a function of T. Graph this relationship for T between 0 and 300. (Hint: Looking sideways, the base of the deadweight loss triangle is T, and the height is the difference between the quantity sold with the tax and the quantity sold without the tax.)
- The government now levies a tax on this good of $200 per unit. Is this a good
policy? Why or why not? Can you propose a better policy?

- Graph the demand and supply curves. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
- If the actual price in this market were above the equilibrium price, what would
drive the market toward the equilibrium?
- If the actual price in this market were below the equilibrium price, what would
drive the market toward the equilibrium?

Who has the best way of understanding presidential power, from this initial encounter with their work and why?
Richard Neustadt and Stephen Skowronek encourage readers to think about presidential politics in terms of power. Neustadt discusses presidential power in multiple ways within a system, and Skowronek suggests that there are weaknesses to Neustadt’s approach in the first couple of chapters of his book. Describe Neustadt’s theory and Skowronek’s initial critique of that theory from the first two chapters of his book. How does Skowronek alternatively understand presidential power?

What does Mason think can be done about partisanship in our politics?
Lilliana Mason’s book is an attempt to argue that the roots of our contemporary political polarization are in social identities, not political identities. Drawing upon the long argument that she makes, please answer the following questions: what are the differences between social identities and political identities? What is political partisanship? How has political partisanship changed over time? How has social identity exacerbated partisanship far beyond what political identity could? When did social identity begin to enhance political partisanship and why did it happen at that point? What does Mason think can be done about partisanship in our politics?
