If unregulated, what is the equilibrium quantity? If unregulated, what is consumer surplus? If unregulated, what is producer surplus? Now suppose a $3 per unit tax is imposted. Assume the statutory burden specifies that firms will pay the tax. With the tax in place, what price is charged to consumers? Now suppose a $3 per unit tax is imposted. Assume the statutory burden specifies that firms will pay the tax. With the tax in place, what price do sellers receive net of the tax? Now suppose a $3 per unit tax is imposted. Assume the statutory burden specifies that firms will pay the tax. With the tax in place, how much of total tax revenue originates from the price increase experience by consumers? Now suppose a $3 per unit tax is imposted. Assume the statutory burden specifies that firms will pay the tax.
