5. Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 25 million cases of cola were sold every month at a price of $7 per case. After the tax, 18 million cases of cola are sold every month; consumers pay $8 per case, and producers receive $5 per case (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $ per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per case, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per case. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers. O True O False
5. Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 30,000 cases of cola were sold every week at a price of $4 per case. After the tax, 25,000 cases of cola are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per case, and producers receive $3 per case (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $ per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per case, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per case.
