This statement can be considered incorrect because the person is not taking into account what the actual effect of the sales tax and the excise tax is on consumers. The excise tax is a tax applied at the moment of manufacture, not at the moment of sale. On the other hand, a sales tax is applied to a product at the moment of sale. However, if companies have to pay an excise tax, they are likely to raise the prices of their products, which could end up having the same effect on consumers as the sale tax. The person has most likely overstated the effect of the sales tax, while understated the effect of the excise tax.
The intersection between the upward sloping function (the supply curve) and the downward sloping function (the demand curve) is the equilibrium price of the market, the point at which the wishes of consumers and suppliers meet.
The graph described should be like the one attached. The example includes the demand and supply curves and the equilibrium price of a market of agricultural products.
When the economic authorities set a minimum price (also called price floor), above the equilibrium price there is a situation of excess supply.
- Producers are willing to produce a larger quantity in the price floor scenario, as they will earn a higher price per unit commercialized.
- Consumers are willing to consume a smaller amount of product units at a more expensive prices.
The wishes of producers and consumers do not meet in the price floor situation, the quantity supplied is larger than the quantity demanded and therefore there is an excess supply.
