(c) Suppose that the unit tax is set at t = 0.1 per unit. What is the excess burden of this tax per dollar of revenue raised? (d) Suppose that we incorrectly assumed that supply was perfectly elastic and there was no impact of the tax on the equilibrium price received by sellers. Would EB/Tax Revenue be higher or lower than what you calculated in part (c)? In 1-2 sentences, explain your answer.

Following the tax, consumers pay a price of and the new equilibrium quantity is while sellers end up with Out of the $0.50 tax, consumers pay The disproportionate burdens of the tax reflect the fact that of the market. The deadweight loss associated with the tax is on each bottle sold, while sellers pay are the less price sensitive side
13. If a good has a perfectly inelastic supply curve and downward sloping demand curve, then: (a) A unit tax in this market creates deadweight loss. (b) Any subsidy imposed in this market will have no effect on price. (c) An ad valorem tax in this market is less effective than a unit tax. (d) A subsidy will be effective in changing P but not Q. (e) None of the above.
