Assume the supply of a good is given by the equation Q = 240P - 240, and the demand for the good is given by the equation QD = 560 - 80P, where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in euros per unit. The government decides to levy an excise tax of €2.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller. Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows: 1. The equilibrium quantity produced 2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good 3. The price received by sellers Before Tax After Tax Equilibrium Quantity (Millions of units) Equilibrium Price per Unit Paid by Consumers Price per Unit Received by Sellers Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence (or tax burden) on consumers is v per unit of the good, and the tax incidence on producers is v per unit of the good. The government receives in tax revenue from levying an excise tax of €2.00 per unit on this good. True or False: The price ultimately paid by the buyer (that is, the amount of money that the buyer pays including any applicable taxes) would have been different if the tax had been levied on buyers instead. O True O False
