Question 1014900: A supply curve has equation q=5p-22,
where p is price in dollars. A $2 tax is imposed on suppliers.
Find the equation of the new supply curve. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming the cost of tax is passed on to the consumers, the new price would be p+2, hence the new supply curve would be q = 5(p+2)-22, or q = 5p - 12 after simplifying.
