Transcribed Image Text:By how much would the market price of abortions and the number of
abortions change if a lump-sum tax is assessed on abortion clinics that
raises their minimum average cost by 10%?
On the graph to the right, show the new long-run equilibrium price.
1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw the new demand curve and label the
line d².
2.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw the new average cost
curve and label the curve AC².
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required
objects.
Using the price elasticity of demand information from the
"Abortion Market" application, calculate the decrease in the number of
abortions from the lump sum tax.
Abortions will decrease by as little as percent or by as much as
percent. (round your answers to one decimal place)
