If an excise tax of $0.15 for each Greebe sold is levied on the sellers of Greebes, the equilibrium price paid by buyers (PB) will differ from the equilibrium price received by sellers (PS) by the amount of the tax. This $0.15 goes to the government. Add the new supply curve incorporating the tax to the graph, and indicate PB and PS. (Answer provided on next problem. Please check your graph.)

The new equilibrium price received by sellers (after tax) would be $__________ per Greebe.

Sellers would receive a total of $__________ million (after tax) from selling Greebes.

11.

The government revenue from this tax would be $__________ million.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
12.

$__________ million of this revenue would be paid by buyers in the form of higher prices.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
13.

$__________ million of this revenue would be paid by sellers in the form of reduced revenue.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
14.

Typically, as a result of an excise tax, buyers will buy a smaller quantity than before the tax. If so, the sellers

would also have a loss of revenue that is not collected by the government. However, the elasticities in this problem make it unique. In this case, the uncollected revenue loss would be equal to $__________ million.
