The graphs show the market for bags of potato chips, which is currently at an equilibrium price of $ 1.33 per bag and an equilibrium quantity of 5.33 million bags . Suppose that, in an attempt to lower blood pressure and reduce healthcare costs, the government imposes a $ 1.00 excise (or commodity) tax on potato chips. Suppose the government levies this tax on manufacturers for each bag of potato chips they produce. Please shift the appropriate curve or curves to illustrate this.

This question is incomplete.

The complete question, answer & explanation for this question is given in the attachment below.

Please find attached an image showing the shift of the supply curve to the left.

When a market for potato chips is in equilibrium, the demand curve intersects the supply curve. At this point, quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.

As a result of the excise tax imposed by the government, the cost of production would increase. This would discourage suppliers from producing the chips. As a result of the fall in supply, the supply curve would shift leftward. When the supply curve shifts leftward, equilibrium price increases and equilibrium quantity would decrease.

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
