The equilibrium price of a good is $30. Supply of this good is more elastic than demand. 5uppase the government introduces a tax on the good. in this case, the price receved by producers is $24, and the price paid by consumers is 1.6 times more.Calculate the tax cost per good for the group bearing most of the tax burden if necessary, round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places. $______
3. Relationship between tax revenues, deadweight loss, and demandelasticity the person who solved the previous time was wrong please help me with the right explanation and solution The government is considering levying a tax of $60 per unit on suppliers of either concert tickets or bus passes. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for concert tickets is shown by DCDC (on the first graph), and the demand for bus passes is shown by DBDB (on the second graph). Suppose the government taxes concert tickets. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S+TaxS+Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($60 per ticket). On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for concert tickets. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight…
