When demand is perfectly inelastic, increase in price does not lead to decrease in quantity demanded. Thus burden of tax is borne by consumers only when demand is perfectly inelastic.
Thus price paid by consumers increases by 9.

Hats are produced in a perfectly competitive industry, and the government imposes a per-unit sales tax on hats. (a) Using the labeling from the graph, identify each of the following. (i) The after-tax price paid by consumers and the after-tax quantity (ii) The area representing the total tax revenue received by the government (b) Now assume instead that the demand for hats is perfectly inelastic at Q3, while the supply and the per-unit tax remain unchanged. (i) Will the after-tax...

The full amount of the tax will be paid by buyers. Sellers will pay relatively more of the tax than buyers. Buyers will pay relatively more of the...
