(Hint: To find the equilibrium quantity after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax.)

The current equilibrium price and quantity in the chocolate market are $5 and 256,000 units, respective. The government introduces a tax of $0.50 per unit which leads to the price that buyers pay to increase to $5.25 and the price that sellers receive to fall to $4.75, while the quantity traded drops to 190,000. Calculate the tax incidence on buyers and sellers. Who bears the a. - largest burden of the tax? b. ( ) What is the revenue that the government collects from the tax?
Q Sea Aplia Homework: Elasticity of Demand and Supply The following graph shows the daily market for jeans when the tax on sellers is set at $0 per pair. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $5.80 per pair, to be paid by the seller. (Hint: To see the impact of the tax, enter the value of the tax in the Tax on Sellers field and move the green line to the after-tax equilibrium by adjusting the value in the Quantity field. Then, enter zero in the Tax on Sellers field. You should see a tax wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive.) 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. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.
