When the government places a tax on a good and all else is held
constant, which of the following would most likely happen?
The price the buyer pays for the good decreases,
assuming the good does not have a horizontal demand curve.
The price and quantity adjust back to the competitive
market equilibrium point.
The overall consumption of the good decreases,
assuming the good does not have a vertical demand curve.
The supply curve shifts to the right.
The government receives no tax revenue if the tax is
more than 20%.
