7. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers Suppose the calculator illustrates the market for wine in the United States. The orange (upward-sloping) line represents the supply curve of wine, and the blue (downward-sloping) line represents the market demand. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. The market is initially in equilibrium. Then the government institutes a $11.60 per bottle tax...

Tax incidence refers to who “feels” the effects of a tax, buyers or sellers. On the example from the previous page, the $4 tax resulted in buyers paying $3 more (since the market price was $4 without the tax, and the price buyers pay with the tax is $7) and sellers receiving $1 less (since the market price was $4 without the tax and sellers receive $3 with the tax). So, we say the incidence of the $4 tax is...
