If these numbers are correct, O A tax which raises the price of cigarettes will increase money spent on cigarettes because the increase in price will be greater than than the decrease in sales A tax which raises the price of cigarettes will increase money spent on cigarettes because demand for cigarettes among adults and youths are both ineleastic. O A tax which raises the price of cigarettes will increase money spent on cigarettes because the increase in price will be less than than the decrease in sales

You are an economist in the Internal Revenue System and just heard of a plan to increase the sales tax on a certain widget by $.06. Last year customers purchased about 10 million widgets. The demand curve in the last year was such that a $.01 increasein price decreases sales by 100,000. A study showed that a $.01 increase in price resulted in producers willing to provide 50,000 more widgets to the market. Congress stated that this$.06 tax will increase government revenues by $600,000 and raise the price of each widget by $.06. Is this correct? If so, explain why this is the case and, if not, what is the increase in prices and revenues?
