1. The Student Snack Bar pays $0.50 per beverage of the tax.

2. The students pay $0.25 per beverage of the tax.

Data and Calculations based on the graph:

The total cost/revenue of beverage purchased after the tax = $1,000 (500 x $2.00)

The total cost/revenue of beverage purchased before tax = $1,225 (700 x $1.75)

The price per beverage before $0.75 tax = $1.75

The price per beverage after $0.75 tax = $2.00

Students pay additional $0.25 (tax) per beverage ($2.00 - $1.75)

The Student Snack Bar pays $0.50 (tax) per beverage ($1.75 - $1.25) because its revenue per beverage reduces from $1.75 to $1.25 ($2.00 - $0.75).

Thus, the students suffer an increase of 14.3% ($0.25/$1.75 x 100) while the Student Snack Bar loses 28.6% ($0.50/$1.75 x 100) in revenue because of the tax.
