Question 2: Imposing a single-stage tax Assume that there are 1000 importers and manufacturers, 2,000 wholesalers, and 10,000 retailers. Each manufacturer (importer) has sales of $30,000,000 which is sold equally across wholesalers, and wholesalers put a 20% markup on the price before selling to retailers Then the goods are resold equally to 10,000 retailers and the retailers impose a 25% markup on it.
