Question 15 (2.5 points) A sales tax imposed on sellers shifts the supply curve leftward for the taxed good because the A) tax is actually shifted entirely onto the buyer who can afford only a smaller supply. B) tax is paid by the seller to the government and is, therefore, like a cost of production. OC) higher price causes entry into the market. OD) tax shifts the demand curve leftward.
