This document contains a homework assignment with multiple questions regarding consumer demand theory and welfare analysis. It involves calculating demand curves, price elasticities, consumer and producer surplus, and optimal tax/subsidy levels under different policy scenarios using Cobb-Douglas and CES utility functions to model consumer preferences. The student is asked to derive demand functions, find equilibrium prices, determine the impact of taxes and subsidies on consumer and producer welfare, and recommend the tax/subsidy levels that maximize social welfare.
