Document Summary

Before tax: equilibrium price = , equilibrium quantity = 900. If the government levies 50 cents on firms, the demand curve is affected: qd = 915 5pc. Firm gets: pf = pc-. 5 so qs = 300(pc-. 5) = 300pc 150. In this case, the consumer bears the larger burden of the tax, ie the least elastic. Now suppose the tax is levied on consumers- we should get the same numbers: The supply curve is affected, qs = 300pf. New equilibriums: pf=2. 99, pc = 2. 99 + . 5 = . 49 , q = 897 (allow for rounding) Profit the total revenue minus the total costs (represented by the pi symbol) Total revenue amount firm receives for the sale of its output.
