8. A Tax on Sellers (ID: 075.06.MANK09) Suppose the government imposes a 20-cent tax on the sellers of artificially-sweetened beverages. The tax would shift Ca. demand, lowering the equilibrium price and raising the equilibrium quantity in the market for artificially sweetened beverages. Ob. supply, lowering the equilibrium price and raising the equilibrium quantity in the market for artificially sweetened beverages. Oc. demand, raising both the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for artificially sweetened beverages. Od. supply, raising the equilibrium price and lowering the equilibrium quantity in the market for artificially sweetened beverages.

(Price Elasticity of Supply) Calculate the price elasticity of supply for each of the following combinations of price and quantity supplied. In each case, determine whether supply is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic. a. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 400 units. b. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 500 units. c.
