Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The per-unit burden of the tax on buyers can be calculated by finding the vertical distance between the demand curve and the new equilibrium point after the tax is imposed (point B). This distance is $8, which means that buyers are paying $8 per unit more than they were before the tax was imposed. Therefore, the best choice is B.
