Of the three tax proposals, which is best for accomplishing this goal?**Options:**- The proposal in which the entire tax is collected from workers- The proposal in which the tax is collected from each side evenly- The proposal in which the tax is collected from employers- None of the proposals is better than the others **Graph Explanation:**The graph illustrates the labor market for research assistants, highlighting the relationship between wage and labor supply and demand. The x-axis represents the number of workers (labor), and the y-axis shows the wage in dollars per hour.- **Supply Curve (Blue Line):** Indicates the number of workers willing to work at different wage levels. As wages increase, more workers are willing to supply labor.- **Demand Curve (Orange Line):** Represents the number of workers employers are willing to hire at various wage levels. As wages decrease, the demand for labor increases.- **Equilibrium Point:** The intersection of the supply and demand curves, showing the wage ($10 per hour) and quantity of labor (240 workers) at which the market clears (labor supplied equals labor demanded).The graph also features horizontal and vertical dashed lines representing specific wage and labor values.**Graph Input Tool:**- **Market for Research Assistants:** - Wage: $4 per hour (input value) - Labor Demanded: 500 workers - Labor Supplied: 0 workers- **Demand Shifter:** - Tax Levied on Employers: $0 per hour- **Supply Shifter:** - Tax Levied on Workers: $0 per hour**Instructions for Analysis:**Use the graph to analyze changes in the number of research assistants hired and calculate the after-tax amount paid to employers and research assistants based on different proposals. This involves computing wages plus any taxes for employers and wages minus any taxes for workers.

If the tax is levied on the employers their cost of production will increase therefore they will…
