How does the imposition of a unit tax affect the supply curve of a firm?



Answer -

(i) A unit tax is a tax that the government imposes per unit sale of output.

(ii) For example, suppose that the unit tax imposed by the government is Rs┬а 3.
Then, if the firm produces and sells 20 units of the goods, the total tax that the firm must pay to the government is 20 x┬а 3 = 60.
(iii) So, if the unit tax increases, the firmтАЩs cost of production increases which will shift the supply curve leftward.
