- Consider the market for pork illustrated in the graph. Suppose initial demand (D') is Q = 290 – 20p and supply (S') is Q = 80 + 40p and that a $3.00 tax is charged to consumers, shifting the demand curve to D. Using the original and after-tax pork demand functions and the supply function, derive the initial equilibrium price and quantity and the after-tax equilibrium price and quantity. %24 (Enter all responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places) The equilibrium price is initially $ per kg.
