Math Problem Statement
ππ· = 20 β 2π ππ = 4π β 10 a. Graph the supply and demand curves. Find the equilibrium price and quantity (Please work out the equilibrium price and quantity). b. Unlike the scenario we discussed in class, now the government legislates a $1 tax to be collected from producers. Find a new market quantity. Also, find the price consumers pay, and the price producers actually receive. c. How much the tax revenue did the government raise? d. Does the price consumers pay or producers receive depend on whether the seller or buyer pays the tax in this example? If they are the same, what affects the tax incidence?

Formulas
Q_D = 20 - 2P (Demand Function)
Q_S = 4P - 10 (Supply Function)
Equilibrium: Q_D = Q_S
New Supply Function with Tax: Q_S = 4(P - 1) - 10
Tax Revenue = Tax per unit * Quantity
