Refer to the graph shown. Assume the market is initially in equilibrium at point b in the graph but the imposition of a per-unit tax on this product shifts the supply curve up from So to S1. The effect of the tax is to raise the equilibrium price from: Price S1 d P1+t SO P2 P1 P2-t Demand f e Q2 Q1 Quantity P2 - t to P1 +t. O P2 - t to P2. O P1 to P2. O P1 to P1 + t.
