The market for a good is described by the demand equation \( Q_d = 500 - 2P \) and the supply equation \( Q_s = 100 + 3P \), where \(P\) is the price (in naira) and \(Q\) is quantity. The government imposes a specific tax of \(t\) naira per unit, which is borne by producers (i.e., the supply curve shifts upward by \(t\)).
