Suppose that the U. S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $4 per bottle. After the tax, 39,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $7 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $1 per bottle.

(a) The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle.

(b) Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle.

(c) True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers. True or False?

a) $6

b) Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $3 per bottle.

c) False

Explanation:

a) The amount of tax paid on a bottle can be calculated as,

Amount of tax = Price paid by consumers - Price received by producers

Amount of tax = 7 - 1

Amount of tax = $6

b) The tax burden on the consumer is given by,

Tax burden of consumers = Price paid by consumers - Pre-tax Price

Tax burden of consumers = 7 - 4

Tax burden of consumers = $3

Tax burden of producers = Pre-tax price - Price received by producers

Tax burden of producers

Tax burden of producers = 4 - 1

Tax burden of producers = $3

c) False

Quantity sold does not change depending on who is taxed between the producer and the supplier.

extra info:

the u.s is the largest importer but it is not the largest exporter as china sits on the top of the table when it comes to leading exporters.

but u.s is not far from first,

they rank in 2nd globally as the worlds largest exporter.
