At this tax amount, the equilibrium quantity of beer is cases, and the government collects |$ in tax revenue. Now calculate the government's tax revenue if it sets a tax of $0, $10, $20, $25, $30, $40, or $50 per case. (Hint: To find the equilibrium quantity after the tax, adjust the "Quantity" field until the Tax equals the value of the per-unit tax. ) Using the data you generate, plot a Laffer curve by using the green points (triangle symbol) to plot total tax revenue at each of those tax levels.CENGAGE MINDTAP Q Search this co Homework (Ch 08) 4. The Laffer curve Government-imposed taxes cause reductions in the activity that is being taxed, which has important implications for revenue collections. To understand the effect of such a tax, consider the monthly market for beer, which is shown on the following graph. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.
