Re: Eco Assignment

well supply could possibly rise due to the less production costs relative to the price per unit sold

Re: Eco Assignment

supply unchanged, or contracting if demand really slows down
Demand decreasing (as less people will want to buy beef/afford it/or eat other meats)

oops, I was writing a reply for this and then suddenly realised that you meant a 'tax'.. my bad :eek:

if it wasnt a tax that the company had to pay then it would be cheaper to produce 'relative' to the cost of one beef...
