18. The U.S. Senate is considering a bill that would tax the sale of laptop computers in order to fund a computer educa- tion program for presidential hopefuls. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that if it implements a low tax of $12 per laptop, revenue should be sufficient to exactly fund the program. The CBO also estimates that a high tax of $230 per laptop will exactly fund the program. a. How can a low tax and a high tax raise exactly enough money to fund the program? Illustrate your answer using a graph. b. Suppose that you are an economic advisor to the Senate Finance Committee, tasked with analyzing the economic impact of the tax proposals. Which proposal do you recommend, and why?

The accompanying graph depicts a hypothetical market for salt. Suppose that an excise or commodity tax is levied on consumers in an attempt to curb blood pressure problems. Show the effect of the tax by shifting the appropriate curve(s). Macmillan Learning Who has the larger tax burden? Consumers (buyers) Producers (suppliers) The tax burdens are equal Why is the tax burden as you described in in the question above? Consumers are the ones paying the tax. Demand is less elastic than supply. Both supply and demand are perfectly elastic. Supply is less elastic than demand. Demand is more elastic than supply.
