Suppose the same supply and demand curves apply, and a tax of the same amount per unit as shown here is imposed. Now, however, the sellers of the good, rather than the buyers, are required to pay the tax to the government. After the sellers are required to pay the tax, relative to the case depicted in the graph, the burden on buyers will be the same, and the burden on sellers will be the same. larger, and the burden on sellers will be smaller. smaller, and the burden on sellers will be larger. The relative burdens in the two cases cannot be determined without further information.
- Suppose the demand curve for a good is highly elastic and the supply curve is highly inelastic. If the government taxes this good, O buyers and sellers will each share 50 percent of the burden, regardless of the elasticities of the demand and supply curves. sellers will bear a larger share of the tax burden. the distribution of the burden will depend upon whether the buyers or the sellers are required to send the tax to the government. buyers will bear a larger share of the tax burden.7.04 Review Suppose a tax of $20 is placed on televisions.
