Who bears the tax burden if the demand curve is perfectly elastic?
a. Sellers
b. Buyers
c. Government
d. Both sellers and buyers
The burden of the taxation is generally paid by both the consumers as well as the producers. The burden of taxation is dependent upon the elasticity of demand and supply. Whenever the supply is more elastic than the demand the consumer will bear most of the burden of taxation like wise if the demand is more elastic than the supply the producers will bear most of the tax burden. And if the demand is perfectly elastic the producers alone bear the burden of the tax, and if the supply is perfectly elastic the consumers will bear the burden of the tax.

7. Effect of a tax on buyers and sellers Suppose the calculator illustrates the market for wine in the United States. The orange (upward-sloping) line represents the supply curve of wine, and the blue (downward-sloping) line represents the market demand. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. The market is initially in equilibrium. Then the government institutes a $11.60 per bottle tax...
