Expert Solution

The price paid by consumers rise by less than 20000 TL.

Reason- When government imposes tax, it's burden is generally shared by both consumers and producers.

The incidence of tax depends on the elasticity of demand and supply.

The more inelastic the demand is more will be the burden of tax on consumers.
