Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers The following graph shows the daily market for wine when the tax on sellers is set at $0 per bottle. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $40.60 per bottle, to be paid by the seller. (Hint: To see the impact of the tax, enter the value of the tax in the Tax on Sellers field and move the green line to the after-tax equilibrium by adjusting the value in the Quantity field. Then, enter zero in the Tax on Sellers field. You should see a tax wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive.) Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. 200 PRICE (Dollars per bottle) 160 Supply 140 120 100 14 80 Demand 60 40 20 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 QUANTITY (Bottles of wine) 180 0 Before Tax After Tax Graph Input Tool…arrow_forwardThe graph to the right shows the effect of a tax imposed on soft drinks.
