Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5).  However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5  to $2.  This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone.   This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit.  Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

erica [24]

The deadweight loss is $90.6.

<h3>How to calculate the loss?</h3>

The study suggested that the average recipient's valuation of the gift received was approximately 90% of the actual purchase price of the gift.

This means there's a loss of 10% in value constitute the deadweight loss.

Average amount spent on gift = $906

Percentage loss in value = 10% or 0.10

Calculate the deadweight loss -

= Average amount spent on gifts * Percentage loss in value

DWL = $906 * 0.10

The deadweight loss would be $90.6.
