1. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? 2. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $1.00 on each water bottle. Complete the column showing quantity supplied after the tax. (Hint: at a price of $8.00 the quantity supplied was 36000. With the tax, this quantity supplied will be supplied only at a price of $9.00, so the Quantity supplied with a tax at 9.00 is 36000) You continue, so at $8.50, the producer only gets 7.50. so is only willing to offer 32000 units.

Using the supply and demand data for wheat below, what would happen if the government placed a $3 per bushel tax on wheat? Bushels demanded 45 50 56 61 67 Price per bushel $6 $5 $4 LA LA LA $3 $2 Bushels supplied 77 73 68 61 57 O the producer price would fall, the consumer price would rise, and the quantity sold would increase. The producer price would fall, the consumer price would rise, and the equilibrium quantity would fall O Both the consumer price and the producer price would rise the consumer price would rise by less than $3 while the producer price would fall by more than $3 O the equilibrium consumer price would rise by $3
