You are an assistant to a senator who chairs an ad hoc committee on reforming taxes on telecommunications services.

You are an assistant to a senator who chairs an ad hoc committee on reforming taxes on telecommunications services. Based on your research, AT&T has spend over $15 million on related paperwork and compliance costs. Moreover, depending on the locale, telecom taxes can amount to as much as 25 percent of a consumer's phone bill. These high tax rates on telecome services have become quite controversial, due to the fact that deregulation of the telecom industry has led to a highly competitive market. Your best estimates indicate that, based on current tax rates, the monthly market demand for telecommunication services is given by Qd = 350 -4P and the market supply (including taxes) is Qs = 3P - 140 (both in millions), where P is the monthly price of the telecommunication services.

The senator is considering tax reform that would dramatically cut tax rates, leading to supply function under the new tax policy of Qs = 3.3P -140. How much money per unit would a typical consumer save each month as a result of the proposed legislation?
