5. Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge beer consumers a tax. Before the tax, 10,000 cases of beer were sold every week at a price of $4 per case. After the tax, 3,000 cases of beer are sold every week; consumers pay $7 per case (including the tax), and producers receive $2 per case. The amount of the tax on a case of beer is S that falls on producers is $ per case. True per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on producers. False per case, and the burden.

Table 3.10 shows the supply and demand for movie tickets in a city. Graph demand and supply and identify the equilibrium. Then calculate in a table and graph the effect of the following changes.
