a. $15
b. $135
c. $0
d. $270
Answer 1 option d
The buyers pay a price of 58 cents
equilibrium price is 60 cents and the equilibrium quantity is 120. If the tax is imposed on buyers, the demand curve shifts down by the amount of the tax to D2. The downward shift in the demand curve leads to a decline in the equilibrium price to 58 cents (the amount received by sellers from buyers

Individual demand and consumer surplus
Consider the market for apartments. The market price of each
apartment is $180,000, and each buyer demands no more than one
apartment.
Suppose that Van is the only consumer in the apartment market. His
willingness to pay for an apartment is $315,000. Based on Van's
willingness to pay, the following graph shows his demand curve for
apartments.
Now, suppose another buyer, Amy, enters the market for
apartments, and her willingness to pay is $225,000.
Based...
