Now calculate the government's tax revenue if it sets a tax of $0, $20, $40, $50, $60, $80, or $100 per bottle. (Hint: To find the equilibrium quantity after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax.) Using the data you generate, plot a Laffer curve by using the green points (triangle symbol) to plot total tax revenue at each of those tax levels. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically. TAX REVENUE (Dollars) 4000 3600 3200 2800 2400 2000 1600 1200 800 400 0 0 10 20 True 30 40 50 60 TAX (Dollars per bottle) False 70 80 90 100 Suppose the government is currently imposing a $60-per-bottle tax on gin. Laffer Curve True or False: The government can raise its tax revenue by increasing the per-unit tax on gin. ?

Comment on the following statement indicating whether you agree with the statement or disagree with the statement and why. Explain your answer. Graphical analysis may be used to support your answer. the government levies taxes on the production and sale of gasoline as well as other items.

Sketch the new supply function after the tax.
12. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers The following graph shows the daily market for wine when the tax on sellers is set at $0 per bottle. Suppose the government institutes a tax of $23.20 per bottle, to be paid by the seller. (Hint: To see the impact of the tax, enter the value of the tax in the Tax on Sellers field and move the green line to the after-tax equilibrium by adjusting the value in the Quantity field. Then enter zero in the Tax on Sellers field. You should see a tax wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive.) Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. 180 160 140 120 4 100 80 60 Demand 40 20 PRICE (Dollars per bottle) 200 0 0 Supply 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 QUANTITY (Bottles of wine) Graph Input Tool Market for Wine…
