12. Study Questions #12 Opponents of increasing the tax on gasoline argue that the big oil companies just pass the tax along to the consumers. Do you agree or disagree?
a. Agree because the demand for gasoline is less elastic than the supply, thus sellers can just pass the tax along to the consumers.
b. Disagree because the demand for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve slopes upward, thus sellers cannot raise the price by the full amount of the tax.
c. Disagree because the demand for gasoline is more elastic than the supply, thus sellers always pay the full amount of the tax.
d. Agree because the demand for gasoline is perfectly inelastic, thus sellers can just pass the tax along to the consumers.
11. Study Questions #11
True or False: The more elastic is demand compared to supply, the more consumers are able to increase the quantity demanded in response to lower prices caused by the tax.
True
False
4. Study Questions and Problems #4
Consider the following demand schedule.
|
Price |
Quantity Demanded |
|---|---|
| $25 | 20 |
| $20 | 40 |
| $15 | 60 |
| $10 | 80 |
| $5 | 100 |
Complete the following table by calculating the price elasticity of demand between specified points and indicating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic. (Hint: Use the midpoints formula.)

12. If the price decreases from $10 to $8 and the quantity demanded increases from 50 units to 55 units the price-elasticity of demand at $10 is _______________________. Thus the price elasticity of demand is _______________________ and therefore total revenue can be increased by ________________________ the price. 13. The elasticity of demand gives the _______________ change in quantity demanded give the __________________ change in price. 14. If Demand is relatively elastic and Supply is also relatively elastic and the government...

When the government decides to impose a tax on sellers of a good or service, sellers try to pass the tax on to consumers by raising the price of the good being sold. Assume the government decides to place a $1 tax on each unit of a good sold, e.g., tires. Using the simple model of supply and demand, describe what would happen to the price and quantity of tires sold. Would the amount of tax paid by the consumer...
