These next five problems consider tax incidence. Suppose the market supply and demand for guitars in Happy Valley are given by:

Demand: P = 300 - (1/2)Q

Supply: P = 100 + (1/3)Q

What is the equilibrium price and quantity of the product?

A - P* = 120, Q* = 1200

B - P* = 180, Q* = 240

C - P* = 60, Q* = 480

D - P* = 225, Q* = 150

E - none of the above

What is the price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium price?

A - Elasticity = -1

B - Elasticity = -2

C - Elasticity = -0.5

D - Elasticity = -0.666

E - none of the above
