Exercise 4 The government has imposed a new tax on all airline travel. The market has two types of travelers: business and leisure. Business travelers have a price elasticity of demand of -1.2, leisure travelers have a price elasticity of demand equal to -3.0. Airlines can price discriminate between these two groups (i.e. charge different prices to each type). Which type of traveler will bear the larger burden of the tax. Explain.
