The supply and demand for soda in a market is represented by QD = 12 - 8P QS = 50P-60 Where Q is in millions of bottles per year and P is dollars per bottle, The current equilibrium price is $1.24, and 2.07 million bottles are sold per year. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply at the current equilibrium. Using the formula given in class, find what share of a tax would be borne by consumers if one were to be implemented in this market. (keep in decimal format 0.## rounded to HUNDREDTH) What would be the share borne by producers?
