A monopolist faces the inverse demand function P(x) = a - bx and produces with constant marginal cost c. a. Determine the effect on equilibrium price of the introduction of a specific tax of value t.Is the tax over shifted? b. Calculate the effect on profitof the tax. Show that 5% =x, where x is the equillorium output level. Explain this result, . Now replace the specific tax with an ad valorem tax at rate t. Find a pair of taxes that lead to the same level of tax revenue. Which gives a lower price?
