2. When airfares between Santa Rosa and Los Angeles averages $69, the quantity consumed is 42,500 tickets. One day, an airline tax is levied equal to $10.00 and output falls to 37,000 tickets. Assume that air travelers end up paying 75% of the tax. Total expenditures or sales of air travel will be____. Total revenues generated by airlines will be _____ Total tax revenue generated by the government will be ____ Total taxes paid by air travelers will be ____ Total taxes paid by airlines will be ____ Calculate the price elasticity of demand and & interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula Calculate the price elasticity of supply and interpret coefficient. Use the general formula, not the mid point formula. How do total sales in the airline market before and after the tax support your answer in (n) and/or (o)?
