How to work through thIS:
·
show the old equilibrium
->
which Is at 50 c
·
then find the new equilibrium - 60c
·
to find how much tax has actually been posed on this market:
(Eil
-
go from new equilibrium point, down to oldsupply curve (90)
and that
vertical distance is the actual tax
· :. In this market
the tax Imposed for each sold
unit IS 40C,
this Is very large given the price Is 60C
·
vertical distance between new supply curve and old supply curve gives
you the actual of
amount the tax.

·
How much of that 40c is converted into an Increase In price
Cl
"
- this is called the consumer's share
the consumer was paying 50c and now they are paying 60c,
which means of the 40C, loc was converted into an actual
price change
-
the consumer only reels the price change
> atthis point, the consumer feels a lOc of
out 4OC Increase In
tax which means the tax Incidence In this case Is 25%0f
the tax. (0x100 25)
