TASK AWELFARE EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT INTRODUCTION 1 TASK B PRODUCTION DECISIONS_2
INTRODUCTION Brazil is the main producer of big leaf Mahogany timber however; in 2001, excessivedestruction of Amazon and decrease in number of trees tends to create eventual abolition ofmahogany harvesting. Imposing restriction by Brazilian government on mahogany harvestingand declare it as an illegal activity may leads to bring unintended consequences of homicidewhich cannot be resolved through a justice system, however, in contrast, when the mahoganyharvesting is legal then the disputes can be easily settled through justice system. Therefore, thekey aim of the report is to examine the welfare effects of governmental intervention in the fieldof mahogany harvesting along with the production decisions and its potential impact on thehomicide rate. The research will particularly answer two choices that are the impact ofintervention of Brazilian government on equilibrium price, quantity and welfare and whether theban will results in high rate of homicide. TASK AWELFARE EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION(A)Demand curve reflects the quantity of mahogany demanded at a given price leveltherefore, the curve reflects downward slope whereas supply curve demonstrates the quantity ofmahogany supplied by producers at different prices. In the given case, it is stated that Braziliangovernment introduced a tax on mahogany producers on each of the ton produced (Grogan andet.al., 2016). The tax will have a direct impact on the supply quantity, which will affect theequilibrium point (demand = supply) illustrated in below diagram:

From the graph below, equilibrium point before the tax is plot as E1 at a demandof Q1 andprice at P1. However, after the tax imposed by the Brazilian government, the supply curve shiftedupward from S0 to S1 at a new equilibrium point of E2 , price at P2 and quantity of Q2. Area E1E2Cpresents deadweight loss due to the taxation imposed by the government. Thus, it becomes clearthat tax resultant increase in price and decline in mahogany quantity (ton) supplied.
