The market for Shiba dogs in Japan is described by different equations than the one you studied before. QD = 15 - P and QS = -5 + 4P.
(a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Show your work.
(b) Suppose a $5 tax is imposed on the sale of Shiba dogs. What is the new quantity sold? How much tax revenue does the government raise? How much do consumers pay (including the tax)? What is the DWL? Show enough work to explain how you found your numbers
