Suppose the demand for a product is given by P = 30 – 3Q. Also, the supply is given by P = 10 + Q. If a $4 per-unit excise tax is levied on the buyers of a good, what proportion of the tax will be paid by the buyers? Group of answer choices 40% None of these 25% 0% 20%
Added by Ashley O.
Step 1
We can do this by setting the demand equation equal to the supply equation: 30 - 3Q = 10 + Q 4Q = 20 Q = 5 Substitute Q = 5 into either the demand or supply equation to find the equilibrium price: P = 30 - 3*5 = 15 Show more…
