Amount of per unit tax can be calculated as the difference between the price corresponding to a Quantity found through new supply curve and the price corresponding to same Quantity found through old supply curve. Thus Amount of Per unit tax (taking, for example, Q=8000)= $ 3- $1.5= $1.50
The price paid by the buyers after tax is imposed is $2.50 found by the intersection of New supply and the existing demand Curve.
The price kept by seller after the tax is imposed is $1.00 which is the price corresponding to Equilibrium Quantity after tax on the old Supply Curve.
Total Amount of Tax revenue= Per unit tax Rate× Equilibrium Quantity after tax= 1.5×6=$9
Dead weight loss created by the tax= 0.5 × 1.50× 2= $1.5
It doesn't matter if the tax is imposed on buyers or sellers. The effect on price and quantity and my answers to above questions would have remained same.
