Essay

Suppose that instead of a supply-demand diagram, you are given the following information:
Q_s = 100 + 3P Q_d = 400 - 2P
From this information compute equilibrium price and quantity. Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that
Q_d = 400 - 2(P + T).
If T = 15, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: P is the price received by sellers and P + T is the price paid by buyers.) Compare these answers for equilibrium price and quantity with your first answers. What does this show you?
