Suppose that the local government ofRaleigh decides to institute a tax on sodaproducers. Before the tax, 40 billion liters ofsoda were sold every year at a price of $11per liter. After the tax, 35 billion liters ofsoda are sold every year; consumers pay $15 per liter, and producers receive $9 perliter (after paying the tax). The amount ofthe tax on a liter of soda is $ per liter. Ofthis amount, the burden that falls onconsumers is $ per liter, and the burdenthat falls on producers is $ per liter. True orFalse: The effect of the tax on the quantitysold would have been smaller if the taxhad been levied on consumers.
