The supply of gazebos is given by P = 3 + 0.6Q; demand is given by P = 18. A specific tax of $6 per unit is subsequently imposed and that shifts the supply curve to P = 9 + 0.6Q.

a)Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity before and after the tax.

Equilibrium price before tax = $

0

Equilibrium quantity before tax =

0

Equilibrium price after tax = $

0

Equilibrium quantity after tax =

0

b)Who bears the burden of the tax?
