You are an economic advisor to the Treasurer of the United States. Congress is considering increasing the sales tax on gasoline by $.05 per gallon. Last year motorists purchased 15 million gallons of gas per month. The demand curve is such that every $.01 increase in price decreases sales by 100,000 gallons per month. You also know that for every $.01 increase in price, producers are willing to provide 50,000 more gallons of gasoline to the market. The legislature has stated that the $.05 tax will increase government revenues by $750,000 per month and raise the price of gasoline by $.05 per gallon. Please explain why this is correct.
