After the tax, 10,000 cases of beer are sold every week; consumers pay $9 per case, and producers receive $6 per case (after paying the tax).

The amount of the tax on a case of beer is ($_______) per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers isper case, and the burden that falls on producers is ($______) per case.
