Don't use chatgpt and make sure you include the graphs needed (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?(b) 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? (c) If you were a policymaker and wanted to promote a fat tax in the UK, whatwould you cover in your policy campaign?

9. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers The following graph shows the daily market for shoes when the tax on sellers is set at $0 per pair. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $23.20 per pair, to be paid by the seller. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Hint: To see the impact of the tax, first enter the value of the tax in the Tax on Sellers field. Adjust the value in the price field to move the green line to the after-tax equilibrium so that quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.

An annual city permit fee causes the supply curve for hot dogs from food carts to shift from S1 to S2. The fee is based on number of units sold and therefore works like a per-item tax on sellers.
