Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U. S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 40 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 33 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $8 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $5 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. 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. True False

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply.a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
