2. When the price elasticity of demand is low and the price elasticity of supply is high, the burden of an excise tax falls primarily on:
Consumers
Producers
None of the above
Equally divided
"Consumer"
Demand elasticity is low that means the consumer will buy the goods even when there is an increase in the price. But same is not with the supply, then the consumer will bear the burden of tax. the answer is "A".

If elasticity of demand is 0.3, elasticity of supply is 0.3, and a 20% excise tax is levied on the good: All of the burden falls on consumers. The tax burden on suppliers and the tax burden on consumers will be equal. The tax burden on suppliers will be greater than the tax burden on consumers. The tax burden on consumers will be greater than the tax burden on suppliers. The tax burden on suppliers and the tax burden on...
