The question presents a market diagram for tulips and asks you to fill in two blanks related to a $6 per-bunch tax on sellers, plus the resulting weekly government revenue. Since there are no answer options provided, I’ll reason through what each blank represents and why the given numbers make sense.

First, restating the setup: a tax of $6 per bunch is imposed on sellers. This shifts the supply curve upward by the tax amount, reducing quantity sold and creating tax revenue for the government. The two blanks ask:
- How much of the $6 tax is paid by sellers (rather than buyers).
- What is the government’s tax revenue per week.

Why would sellers pay $3 of the tax? In tax incidence analysis, the portion of the tax paid by each side depends on the relative elasticities of supply and demand. If the elasticities are such that the burden is shared equally between buyers and sellers, each bears half of the tax. Since the total tax is $6, sellers paying $3 implies buyers are paying the remaining $3 per bunch. This outcome indicates a roughly equal burden split between sides, which can occur if the elasticity of supply is similar to the elasticity of demand in this market.

Next, determining the government revenue: tax revenue is equal to (tax per unit) × (quantity sold after tax). You’re given the final revenue as 81.6 dollars per week, and the tax per unit is $6. To find the quantity sold after tax, you can rearrange Revenue = Tax × Quantity → Quantity = Revenue ÷ Tax = 81.6 ÷ 6 = 13.6 bunches per week.

Putting it together:
- Sellers pay $3 of the tax per bunch (i.e., half of the $6 tax).
- Buyers pay the other $3 per bunch.
- Government tax revenue per week equals $81.6, which corresponds to 13.6 bunches sold weekly at a $6 tax per bunch.

If you consider the logic, the exact numbers would depend on the pre-tax equilibrium, elasticities, and the market response to the tax. In this case, the provided answers imply an equal split of the tax burden and a weekly quantity of 13.6 bunches sold after the tax, yielding $81.6 in tax revenue.

Note: If any piece of information were missing (for example, the post-tax quantity or the elasticity comparison), you would explain the discrepancy or discuss how different elasticities would shift the burden between buyers and sellers. The reasoning here assumes the given numeric results are intended outcomes from the graph and the tax.
