The market for skateboards currently has no taxes. The equilibrium quantity is 5,000/month, and the equilibrium price is $40. The governor is considering placing a $10/skateboard tax on skateboard producers, and expects to raise $50,000/month in revenue. Is the governor correct? O No, because it doesn't matter whether the consumer or producer is taxed. O Yes, because producer and consumer responses will cancel out. O No, because the quantity produced and consumed will fall below 5,000/month once the tax is imposed. O Yes, because 5,000 x $10 = $50,000.
