I require help on solving the tax revenue and incidences for both producers and consumers. Supply: P=0.25Q Demand: P=300-0.75Q Instead of a price control, government levies a $20 excite tax on producers. Formulate the new supply curve and solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. Calculate with a diagram the tax revenue and the tax incidences for both producers and consumers. Discuss how buyers and sellers share the tax burden by applying relevant theories and an appropriate diagram.
