Please answer the following questions (15 points; 10 minutes): a. What market would the government likely tax? And, what market would the government subsidize? b. Please discuss the effects of the tax in a supply and demand diagram, and explain the changes to total surplus (consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue/spending).
