Refer to the Figure 5.7. An excise tax introduces a wedge between the price paid by consumers (Pc) and the price received by producers (Pp). Which of the following statement is correct? O When the supply is more elastic than demand, the tax incidence on consumers, Pc - Pe, is lower than the tax incidence on producers, Pe - Pp. When the supply is more inelastic than demand, the tax incidence on consumers, Pc- Pe, is larger than the tax incidence on producers, Pe - Pp. O When the supply is more elastic than demand, the tax incidence on consumers, Pc - Pe, is larger than the tax incidence on producers, Pe - Pp. O When the demand is more elastic than supply, the tax incidence on consumers, Pc - Pe, is larger than the tax incidence on producers, Pe - Pp

If after a tax is imposed, the price paid by the buyer rises by $3 while the price received by the seller falls by $2, and the quantity of goods sold falls from 300 to 200 units, what is the amount of government revenue from this tax?
Refer to image. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $0.60 per soft drink purchased. The price paid by the consumer becomes A. $2.40 B. $2.00 C. $2.20 D. $2.60 E. $1.80
Government levied a tax on good D. The elasticity of the supply changed without changing the no-tax equilibrium point. Because of the change, the buyers’ tax incidence rose. Answer how the elasticity changed: More elastic or Less elastic, and answer how the after-tax equilibrium quantity would change: Decrease or Increase. Hint: If you are not sure, draw a figure with two demand curves. Elasticity: After-tax equilibrium quantity:
Imagine there is a tax on cigarettes and that consumers and producers each bear some portion of the tax. Assume that when vape pens were introduced, they were not taxed. How would you expect that introduction of vape pens to affect the distribution of the tax burden associated with the cigarette tax? O It will decrease the consumer tax burden because demand for cigarettes will become more elastic. O It will increase the consumer tax burden because demand for cigarettes will become more elastic. O It will decrease the consumer tax burden because demand for cigarettes will become more inelastic. O It will increase the consumer tax burden because demand for cigarettes will become more inelastic.
Suppose the government puts a tax on a market with inelastic supply and elastic demand, then----O. it is impossible to determine how the burden of the tax will be shared.O. sellers will bear most of the burden of the tax.O. the burden of the tax will be shared equally between buyers and sellers.O. buyers will bear most of the burden of the tax.

Suppose the government of Country X would like to reduce traffic congestion by imposing a per-unit tax on car sellers. а. With the aid of a well-labeled demand-and-supply diagram, explain the effects of the per-unit sales tax on the car market in Country X, and the tax incidence. b. Many car sellers complain about the heavy tax burden of the per-unit sales tax. To address the complains of the car sellers, the government of Country X proposes the tax to be levied on car buyers instead of car sellers. Under what condition will the sellers bear a larger tax burden than buyers? Explain whether the new proposal can successfully reduce the tax burden of car sellers.
Suppose that after an excise tax was imposed on sofas, the price buyers paid for sofas increased by $5. Suppose further that the price elasticity of demand for sofas is 1.8 and the price elasticity of supply for them is 1.6. It can be concluded with certainty that the amount of the excise tax was Select one: OA less than $5. B. $5. OC. greater than $5 but less than $10. OD. $10. OE. greater than $10.
Taxes and Subsidies: End of Chapter Problem Let's see if we can formulate any real laws about the economics of taxation. Which of the following must be true? More than one may be true. If there is a tax: Must occur a. The equilibrium quantity must fall, and the price that buyers pay must rise. b. The equilibrium quantity must rise, and the price that sellers pay must rise. Will not occur c. The equilibrium quantity must fall, and the price that sellers receive must fall. Answer Bank d. The equilibrium quantity must rise, and the price that buyers receive must fall.
