Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 15 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 9 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $10 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $_______ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $________per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $_______per bottle.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 19 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $8 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on producers. True False
