I will calculate the answers to these economics questions.
This is in the field of microeconomics.
Consider the imposition of an ad valorem tax on a perfectly competitive market.
Assume the tax is levied on producers, who pass the cost on to consumers.
In this case, the supply curve shifts, and the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price in the market change.
Calculate the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price before and after the tax is imposed.

Let the demand function be D = b + aP.
Let the supply function be S = f + cP.
D and S represent quantity. P represents price. b and f are constant terms. a and c are coefficients of price P.
Enter a positive number for b. (b > 0)
Enter a negative number for a. (a < 0)
Enter a positive number for c. (c > 0)
Enter a non-positive number for f. (a number less than or equal to 0)

Let t be the ad valorem tax rate. 3 percent is 0.03, and 20 percent is 0.2.
Enter a number greater than or equal to 0 for t.

Please be careful not to confuse this with ad valorem tax.
Also, note that the shift in the supply curve caused by ad valorem tax is not a parallel shift.
