FIGURE 4-4

Refer to Figure 4-4. There have been proposals that a tax be imposed on sugar-laden soft drinks in an attempt to reduce their consumption. Assume for simplicity that all bottled soft drinks are the same size. Suppose the initial market equilibrium is P = $2.00 and Q = 1000. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $0.60 per soft drink purchased. Which of the following statements most accurately describes the economic incidence of this tax?


◦ The seller bears more of the burden because supply is inelastic relative to demand.
◦ The consumer bears more of the burden because demand is inelastic relative to supply.
◦ The consumer bears more of the burden because demand is elastic relative to supply.
◦ The seller bears more of the burden because supply is elastic relative to demand.
◦ The burden is shared equally between consumer and seller because the slopes of the supply and demand curves are the same.
