Question 5:
Combined state and federal taxes on gasoline average around 50 cents per gallon, and these taxes are statutorily levied on gasoline sellers. Because
the demand for gasoline is relatively inelastic compared to the supply of gasoline:
buyers likely do not bear much of the actual burden because it is statutorily levied on sellers who must submit the tax payments.
sellers likely bear most of the actual burden of the tax through lower gasoline prices.
O the net price received by sellers after they pay taxes likely falls by almost the full amount of the tax.
O buyers likely bear most of the actual burden of the tax through higher gasoline prices.
