ssume that for good X the supply curve for a good is a typical, upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is a typical downward-sloping straight line. If the good is taxed, and the tax is tripled, the O base of the triangle that represents the deadweight loss triples. O height of the triangle that represents the deadweight loss triples. O All of the above are correct. O deadweight loss of the tax increases by a factor of nine.

14. 15. Suppose a tax of $4 per unit is imposed on a good. The supply curve and the demand curve are straight lines. The tax decreases consumer surplus by $10 and it decreases producer surplus by $10. The tax revenue is $160. From this information it follows that the tax decreased the equilibrium quantity of the good O from 80 to 70. O from 70 to 60. O from 75 to 55. O from 50 to 40. O from 20 to 15. O from 15 to 10. O from 45 to 30. O None of the above. Mark each of the following statements that are true. A tax that has no deadweight loss cannot raise any revenue for the government. A tax that raises no revenue for the government cannot have any deadweight loss. other things equal, a tax on an inelastic good will raise more revenue than an elastic good.

O It will decrease the consumer tax burden because demand for cigarettes will become more inelastic.

5. Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the local government of Raleigh decides to institute a tax on soda producers. Before the tax, 25 million liters of soda were sold every month at a price of $11 per liter. After the tax, 19 million liters of soda are sold every month; consumers pay $16 per liter, and producers receive $7 per liter (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a liter of soda is 3 that falls on producers is 5 per liter. O True per liter. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on consumers. False per liter, and the burden
