Suppose the supply of a good is given by the equation Q1,200P-1,200, and the demand for the good is given by the equation Q-2,400-400P, where quantity (Q) is measured in millions of units and price (P) is measured in dollars per unit. The government decides to levy an excise tax of $1.00 per unit on the good, to be paid by the seller. Calculate the value of each of the following, before the tax and after the tax, to complete the table that follows: 1. The equilibrium quantity produced 2. The equilibrium price consumers pay for the good 3. The price received by sellers Equilibrium Quantity (Millions of units) Equilibrium Price per Unit Paid by Consumers Price per Unit Received by Sellers Before Tax The government receives After Tax Given the information you calculated in the preceding table, the tax incidence on consumers is on producers is per unit of the good. per unit of the good, and the tax incidence in tax revenue from levying an excise tax of $1.00 per unit on this good.
