Question
### Calculating Tax Incidence

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to impose a tax on beer production. Before the tax, 10 billion cases of beer were sold every year at a price of $7 per case. After the tax, 9 billion cases of beer are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per case, and producers receive $6 per case (after paying the tax).

- The amount of the tax on a case of beer is **$3** per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on producers is **$1** per case, and the burden that falls on consumers is **$2** per case.
  
- True or False: The division of the tax burden in this example would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

  - True
  - False
