After Tax

Using the data you entered in the previous table, calculate the tax burden that falls on buyers and on sellers, respectively, and calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply over the relevant ranges using the midpoint method. Enter your results in the following table.

	Tax Burden	Elasticity
	(Dollars per pair)
Buyers
Sellers
