The demand and supply equations for a product are: Q^d=300-6p and Q^x=-40+6p. . Determine the market Equilibrium and draw graphs. Suppose that the government decides to impose a flat tax of 10% on each unit sold. Show that the price that consumers pay would be the same if the government imposed a tax of Rs. 1.70 per unit sold. Draw graph and explain . Also calculate the total revenue earned by sellers before and after the tax, the tax revenue raised by the government, changes in consumer and producers surplus and dead weight loss
