se that the supply of labor is

Suppose a tax on wages is passed to finance a government program.  The legislation orders a tax of 12.4% on per hour wage earnings with 6.2% to be paid by employers and 6.2% to be paid by workers.  Assume labor supply is more inelastic than labor demand.  Under these assumptions, describe the economic burden of the tax? a.The economic burden will be fully on workers. b. The economic burden will be fully on employers. c. The economic burden will be distributed in equal amounts to workers and employers. d. The economic burden will be mostly on workers and less on employers.

The figure below displays a market for teenage labor with a minimum wage of $6 per hour                                                                                                                                                            How many workers are unemployed at the $6 minimum wage?   LS-LD.        30   (=70-40)   The government places an hourly tax of $1 per worker on employers. Show the effect of the tax on the demand for labor.   With both minimum wage and the labor tax, how many workers do firm employ? What is the incremental effect of the tax on employment?   With both minimum wage and the labor tax, how many workers are unemployed? What is the incremental effect of the tax on unemployment?

If labor supply is perfectly inelastic, the imposing a payroll tax that will be split between employers and employees will a) reduce employment. b) leave employment levels unchanged. c) cause the tax burden to fall exclusively on firms. d) cause the tax burden to fall exclusively on workers.
