So here we're talking about tax incidents and what we need to do is visualize this, right? we have this market, quantity and price, downward sloping demand, upward sloping supply, equilibrium, right? we have an initial equilibrium price of seven and initial equilibrium quantity of 15.
00:20
That's where we start.
00:21
Now the tax is charged on producers, right? so we have this tax on producers.
00:29
So the supply curve is going to shift up, right? this is now supply plus the tax and extra cost.
00:36
And now consumers are paying 10, right? this is the new price for consumers, but producers only receive four.
00:46
And the new quantity is, it doesn't say, nine million, nine million.
00:52
So this is the picture of what the tax is done, right? the key is for a, the tax is equal to six.
01:00
This distance is the tax, right? the difference between the supply curves.
01:04
We're shifting up the supply curve by the amount of the tax.
01:08
So this distance is tax.
01:10
If consumers get 10 and the producers get four, six is missing, right? this is a gap here is six.
01:19
Where does that six go? it must go somewhere.
01:21
The money doesn't disappear.
01:22
It goes into the pockets of the government...
