Suppose that initially a seller's "bottom line" asking price for a particular car is equal to $23,000. However, a new tax is instituted that will tax the seller in the amount of 10% on the sale. What is the seller's new "bottom line" after factoring in the new tax?

In his fiscal year(FY0 2015 budget proposal, President Obama envisions another hike in the federal excise tax on cigarettes. He engineered a tripling of the tax-form 39 cents to $1.01 per pack- in 2009. Now he wants to hike the tax by another 94 cents, to $1.95 per pack. It's easy to see why Obama(himself a smoker) likes the idea. The 2009 tax hike brought an extra $9 billion a year into the U.S. treasury, it also reduced smoking and smoking-related health costs. This time around the Congressional Budget office projects a 94 cent tax hike will increase federal revenue by $78 billion over ten years, helping to bring down project deficits. The CBO also projects that the higher price will reduce the number of smokers by 2.5 million and the number of smoking-related deaths by 18,000 over the same period. Smokers don't like the idea at all,of course.Nor do the states,which will see their own tax revenues decline along with the cigarette sales. and convenience stores like 7-Eleven will see a…

If the demand for automobiles is price elastic and an excise tax is levied on sellers of automobiles that causes a 10% increase in the price of automobiles paid by buyers, then: The quantity demanded of automobiles will decrease by more than 10% and buyers will bear a proportionally larger share of the direct burden of the tax than sellers. The quantity demanded of automobiles will decrease by more than 10% and sellers will bear a proportionally larger share of the direct burden of the tax than buyers. The quantity demanded of automobiles will decrease by less than10% and total revenues from auto sales will increase. The quantity demanded of automobiles will decrease by less than 10% and total revenues from auto sales will decrease.
