Suppose that the U. S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 30 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $4 per bottle. After the tax, 25 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $6 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $3 per bottle.

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on producers.
