What would it mean if the elasticity of demand for a good was zero? Explain whether it can be possible for the
price elasticity of demand for a good to be zero, at least over some range of prices. Can the elasticity of demand
be zero for all possible prices? Explain how or why not.
Suppose an economist estimates the price elasticity of demand for instant noodle is -2.4, while its price elasticity of supply is 4.0.
If the government decides to impost a per-unit sales tax of $16 per pack of instant noodle, how would the market price for instant noodle be affected? Show your calculation.
How does a sugar tax that increases the final price of non-alcoholic beverages with sugar address the problem? Using the concept of price elasticity of demand, is a tax on non-alcoholic beverages with sugar the best way of addressing the problem?
