please give me correct and incorrect answer explanation
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:

The government raises taxes on cigarettes from $1 per to $2 per pack. Prior to the tax increase, 5 million packs were sold each year. The new equilibrium quantity is 4 million packs. a. If demand is elastic, an increase in the level of a tax will _______ tax revenue. - increase, decrease or not change. b. All other things equal, a tax on ________ (hamburgers, breakfast cereal, luxury watches, or cigerattes) would be likely to raise the greatest revenue because demand is most _________ (elastic, inelastic or unit elastic). c.

Question 11 Explain how do the tax incidence and deadweight loss of a commodity tax vary with the elasticities of demand and supply (you do NOT have to refer to the specific demand and supply in the exercise above. You have to discuss, in general, how the elasticities of demand and supply affects the tax incidence and deadweight loss. A BI EEP E
