suppose that the local government of Columbus decides to institute a tax on seltzer consumers. Before the tax, 20,000 packs of seltzer were sold every week at a price of $10 per pack. After the tax, 15,000 packs of seltzer are sold every week; consumers pay $12 per pack (including the tax), and proceeds nrecieve $5 per pack.
Suppose that the local government of Santa Fe decides to institute a tax on soda consumers. Before the tax, 45,000 liters of soda were sold every week at a price of $10 per liter. After the tax, 38,000 liters of soda are sold every week; consumers pay $14 per liter (including the tax), and producers receive $8 per liter. The amount of the tax on a liter of soda is 3 that falls on producers is 5 per liter. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on producers. True per liter. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is 3 O False per liter, and the burden
(a) Suppose in a competitive market, the market demand curve for salt is infinitelyinelastic. What is the impact of a per-unit tax (i.e. a specific tax) on the priceof salt that consumers pay? Suppose the demand curve for butter is Q = 50 − 3P and the supply curve isQ = 2P. Suppose the government announces a per-unit tax of 1 on the priceof butter. Tax on butter can be seen as a ’fat tax’. What is the overall effectof a fat tax on the consumers? Please do not use chat gpt and answer the best way it can be.

In the market for candy, researchers have estimated the following demand and supply curves. Demand: P= 8 - Q/100 Supply: P= (3Q)/700 If the government imposes an excise tax of $0.50 per unit. What is tax revenue out of this tax? (Remember that the tax does not change the demand and supply curves).

(Hint: To find the equilibrium quantity after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax.) Using the data you generate, plot a Laffer curve by using the green points (triangle symbol) to plot total tax revenue at each of those tax levels. 0 Demand Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected.
