Question

The Government places a luxury tax on cars that sell for over $50k.  What would happen to the supply of Bentleys?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The impact of the tax on the demand-supply equilibrium level of output and price is to move the amount toward a point where the before-tax amount demanded short the before-tax supply is the measure of the tax. A tax builds the value a purchaser pays by not exactly the tax. Essentially, the value/price the merchant gets falls, however by not exactly the tax. According to the question, the government is placing the luxury tax on cars above the price of $50k so that will leads to decline the level of supply because of the less demand in the market because some now not able to purchase the Bentley's.
