Suppose that the local government of Tulsa decides to institute a tax on cider producers. Before the tax, 40,000 cases of cider were sold every week at a price of $9 per case. After the tax, 34,000 cases of cider are sold every week; consumers pay $12 per case, and producers receive $5 per case (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a case of cider is $ that falls on producers is $ per case. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers. True per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ False per case, and the burden

Consider the market for commercial fans. The following graph shows the demand and supply for commercial fans before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of commercial fans in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. Suppose the government imposes an excise tax on commercial fans. The black line on the following graph shows the tax wedge created by a tax of $50 per fan. First, use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area representing tax revenue. Next, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus after the tax. Then, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer…
