Answer :

Answer: increase by less than $1000.

Explanation:

It should be noted that when the government levies a $1,000 tax per boat on sellers of boats, then this will lead to the supply curve shifting upward by $1000.

Due to the tax imposed, there'll be an increase in the price that a buyer will pay for the boat. In this case, the buyer and the seller will share the burden of the tax. Hence, there'll be na increase in the price for the boat by less than $1000.
