How does a competitive firm's demand for labor react to a specific tax on each unit of output it sells?

What will be an ideal response?

The price the firm receives for each unit of output is now - t instead of p where is new price paid by consumers. Assuming that does not exceed p by the full amount of the tax, the demand for labor shifts downward and intersects the wage line at a lower quantity of labor.
