The demand for the product S is Q = 500 – 8P and its supply is Q = 200 + 4P. The good is currently untaxed, but the government needs to raise tax by taxing per unit of the good. a. Calculate excess burden for the product S. b. Calculates marginal excess burden for the product S? The exact amount of the tax is not specified.
