Suppose the supply of a good is given by the equation QS = 80P - 80, and the demand for the good is given by the equation QD= 280 – 40P, where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in dollars per unit.
The government decides to levy an excise tax of $3.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller.
Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows:
.1. The equilibrium quantity produced
2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good
3. The price received by sellers
Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence on consumers is on producers is _______ per unit of the good, and the tax incident on producers is _______ per unit of the good.
The government receives _______ in tax revenue from levying an excise tax of $3.00 per unit on this good.
True or False: The equilibrium quantity would have been different if the tax had been levied on buyers instead.

Suppose that demand and supply functions for good X are: QD=90-10P (P=9-0.1QD) QS=20P-6 (P=0.3+0.05QS) a. Graph this situation. b. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for good X? c. What is consumers surplus? Producers surplus? d. Suppose the government imposes a per unit tax on good X equal to 1 dollar (per unit). What is the new equilibrium price and quantity? How much revenue would this tax raise for the government? What is consumers surplus? Producers...
3. Starting with QD = 450 – 2.5P and QS = 90 + 5P and supposing that the government imposes an excise tax of $3 per unit collected from producers, find (a) the new equilibrium price and quantity and (b) how much of the tax is actually paid by consumers and how much falls on producers To work problem 3 you must do the following. Find the pre-tax equilibrium price and quantity. The amount of the tax paid by consumers...
