That is, the representative consumer pays no tax on wage income for the first x units of real wage income, and then pays a proportional taxt on each unit of real wage income greater than x Therefore, the consumer's budget constraint given by C wh -D + if wh- D=x., or C (1-wh-D+ tx+ if_wCh = D2 Now, suppose that the government reduces tax deduction x Using diagrams, determine the effects of this tax change on the consumer, and explain your results in terms of income and sub stitution effects. Make sure that you consider two cases. In the first case, the consumer does not pay any tax before x is reduced, and in the second case, the consumer pays a positive tax before x is reducedarrow_forwardQuestion 5: Combined state and federal taxes on gasoline average around 50 cents per gallon, and these taxes are statutorily levied on gasoline sellers. Because the demand for gasoline is relatively inelastic compared to the supply of gasoline: buyers likely do not bear much of the actual burden because it is statutorily levied on sellers who must submit the tax payments. sellers likely bear most of the actual burden of the tax through lower gasoline prices. O the net price received by sellers after they pay taxes likely falls by almost the full amount of the tax. O buyers likely bear most of the actual burden of the tax through higher gasoline prices.arrow_forward
