Suppose the government can impose taxes on only two goods, X and Y. Thecompensated demand curve for X is Qx = 60 - 10Px and the compensated demand curvefor Y is Qy = 60 - 20Py . The supply curve of each goods is perfectly elastic at a price of$1.a) What should be the ratio of ad valorem tax rates, tx/ty , at the optimum?b. Calculate the tax optimal tax rates if the government must raise $50 in revenues. You canuse the compensated demand curves as also representing the normal demand curves inthis question (i.e. no income effects are present)
