Calculation worksheet for Indirect tax and subsidies

Jonny Clark

Here's a 5 minute worksheet asking students to calculate various elements based upon figures shown in diagrams for an indirect tax and a subsidy for two normal goods. This would be a nice little starter for your students as they return from their Easter break and need to get their calculation juices flowing again!

Remember, the ability to calculate areas within a diagram is far more important for the up-coming AS exams then it has been before!
