Rules by which an authority (usually a government) imposes a financial obligation on individuals or organizations within its domain. Property or transactions can be taxed. While taxes are primarily intended to fund the operation of a government, many tax laws are created to encourage or discourage certain behaviors by citizens or companies.

Doyle and Samphantharak (2008) find that when a 5% gas tax is implemented, prices consumers pay for gas increase by about 4%. What role does demand elasticity play in determining the size of this price change? That is, under what demand elasticity cases would the price change be closer to 5%, or closer to 0%? Illustrate and explain using supply-and-demand graph(s)..
The elasticity of demand for chocolate chip cookies is 0.6 and the elasticity of supply for these cookies is 1.9. If a tax is imposed on purchases of chocolate chip cookies, then the consumers would pay more of the tax. consumers would pay the entire tax because their demand is less elastic than the producers' supply. tax would be equally shared by the consumers and the producers. producers would pay more of the tax.
If the Government imposes a tax of $6 per burrito, what will be the total government tax revenue?
Suppose that the equilibrium quantity in the market for gadgets has been 85,000 per month. Then a tax of $6 per gadget is imposed on gadgets. As a result, the price paid by buyers increases by $4 and the after-tax price received (and kept) by sellers falls by $2. Given this tax imposition, the government is able to raise $481,740 per month in tax revenue. We can conclude that the imposition of the tax (x) has caused a deadweight loss by an amount more than $13,750 but less than $14,500 per month. (y) has reduced the equilibrium quantity of gadgets by more than 4,450 but less than 4,675 gadgets per month. (z) has reduced consumer surplus by more than $328,750 per month and has reduced producer surplus by more than $164,775 per month.
If a $6 per unit excise (sales) tax is imposed, who will suffer the greater burden of this tax, the suppliers or demanders? a) Demanders b) Suppliers c) Both share the burden equally d) Can't tell from the available information
