... Price to the buyer: Ptb = 30, the price to the seller: Pts= 20 Qtlrd(30) = 10 Qtlrs(20) = 60-50= 10 Calculating who paid what share of the tax was more difficult and hence extra credit. First we find the price assuming that the tax = zero and calculate the new equilibrium quantity and the new equili ...
