A government imposes a $10 per-unit tax in a competitive market. Afterward, the seller's after-tax price falls from the original equilibrium price of $20 to $18. Based on this, which of the following is true? Explain why you chose that option. A) Producers are bearing 10% of the tax burden. B) The next after-tax equilibrium price will be $30. C) Consumers are bearing 80% of the tax burden. D) The government will collect less than $10 per unit exchanged of the good. E) The quantity demanded will decrease by 10%.

Suppose a tax of $5 per unit is imposed on a good. The supply curve is a typical upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is a typical downward-sloping straight line. The tax decreases consumer surplus by $10,000 and decreases producer surplus by $15,000. The deadweight loss of the tax is $2,500. The tax decreased the equilibrium quantity of the good from a. 6,500 to 5,500. b. 5,500 to 4,500. c. 5,000 to 3,000. d. 6,000 to 4,000.
