When solving for a new equilibrium price after the institution of a tax, I keep getting a price that is lower than my previous equil price. Why?
For Example:
$D(p) = 50 - p$
$S(p) = p/20$
The p* of this problem is $47.61$, however, when I add a .1 proportional tax I get an answer of $43.29$ which does not make sense because that price is lower ...
