Answer: (a) $1.04 million

(b) $7.25 million

Explanation:

Additional revenue raised by State A :

Initial revenue = $(5% x 890) million

                         = $ 44.5 million

Revenue from increased tax rate = $(6% x 759) million

                                                       = $45.54 million

Additional Revenue raised by State A = $ (45.54 - 44.5)million

                                                               = $1.04 million

Additional revenue raised by State Z :

Revenue from increased tax base = $(5% x 145) million

                                                         = $7.25 million

Ghella [55]

If a buyer has a critical or more important use of the product then the inelasticity of the demand increases, then it is the importance of the product affecting elasticity.

A product is considered inelastic if its demand remains static even if there is a significant price change. It is generally the basic necessity product that are considered as inelastic product. Inelastic demand of the product ensures the adequate supply of goods. In inelastic demand case the quantity demanded is same despite the change in price and the demand curve is graphed out as a vertical line. These goods have no substitutes ensuring the quantity demanded remains unaffected.

In case of fall in the price, the demand remains same, generating less revenue. On the other hand, if price hikes, the business earns significant profit.
