Suppose that the local government of Tulsa decides to institute a tax on cider producers. Before the tax, 40,000 cases of cider were sold every week at a price of $9 per case. After the tax, 34,000 cases of cider are sold every week; consumers pay $12 per case, and producers receive $5 per case (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a case of cider is $ that falls on producers is $ per case. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers. True per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ False per case, and the burden

2. 3-5: Attaining Market Equilibrium *3* The Wall Street Journal of March 20, 2020, reported on the "large surplus of oil" as there is not enough storage capacity to hold the refined oil. Assuming the price of oil is set by competitive market forces, which of the following sequence of events accurately describes how the surplus of oil would be eliminated? As price decreases, the: Quantity demanded decreases, quantity supplied increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Quantity demanded increases, quantity supplied increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Demand decreases, supply increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Demand increases, supply decreases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Quantity demanded increases, quantity supplied decreases, and a new equilibrium will be reached.
