NOTE: As per our Honor code, we can attempt only the first question.
Due to the imposition of the tax, the demand decreases which shifts the demand curve leftwards. The original demand curve before the imposition of the tax is D1. The supply curve is S. also, the equilibrium point before the imposition of the tax was E1.
Before the tax was imposed, the market was in equilibrium. So, sellers produced 9 units of good. Also, they received $30 for each unit sold.
Answer: Option (D) is correct.
Consider the market depicted below: units and received for each one sold Suppose a tax located...
