Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 30 billion bottles of wine were sold ev

ery year at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 23 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.

Answer:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $2 per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.

Explanation:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 ($3 + $2).

The burden on consumers is $3 ($9 - $6), which is the difference between the after-tax purchase price and the before-tax purchase price for consumers.  This implies that the burden passed to consumers is $3 out of the total tax burden of $5.

The burden on producers is $2 ($6 - $4) which represents the difference between before-tax selling price and the after-tax selling price for the producers.  This means that the burden passed to producers is $2 out of the total tax burden of $5.

If the tax burden were passed to the producers alone, the selling price would have been more than $11 ($6 + 5).  This would have reduced demand for wine as consumers would have been forced to bear the total burden.  This would have made the tax unequitable.  This would have been the case unless demand is inelastic.  That means that the total demanded is not sensitive to price increases.

"if Washburn achieves the sales target of 2,000 units at the $349 retail price, what will its profit be?"
dybincka [34]

Answer: $370,000

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete as there were some further questions asked before getting to this question.

The profit from 2,000 units at $349 will be:

Profit = Total revenue – Total cost

Total revenue = (P x Q)

= $349 x 2000

= $698000

Total cost = [FC + (UVC x Q)]=

= [$38,000 + ($145 x 2,000)]

=$38000 + $290000

= $328000

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

Profit = $698000 - $328000

Profit = $370000
