The United States imposes an excise tax on the sale of domestic airline tickets. Let’s assume that in 2006 the total excise tax was $5.80 per airline ticket (consisting of the $3.30 flight segment tax plus the $2.50 September 11 fee). According to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2006, 656 million passengers traveled on domestic airline trips at an average price of $389.08 per trip. The accompanying table shows the supply and demand schedules for airline trips. The quantity demanded at the average price of $389.08 is actual data; the rest is hypothetical.
Price of trip Quantity of trips demanded
(millions)
Quantity of trips supplied
(millions)
$389.17 655 1,100
$389.08 656 1,000
$384.00 685 685
$383.28 700 656
$383.27 701 655
