Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
If the demand for a product is elastic the tax burden will be borne by the producer. This is because elastic demand means that an increase in the price will lead to a more than proportionate reduction in the quantity demanded. So with the imposition of a tax, the sellers will not increase the price as it is likely to reduce demand.
If the demand is inelastic, it means that an increase in price will lead to less than a proportionate decrease in the demand. In this situation, after the imposition of tax, the tax burden can be shared between producer and buyer.
Answer:
total taxable income = $73,000
tax liability = $7,505
Explanation:
Clarice's ordinary income $30,000
Clarice's capital gains:
- selling of stock = $34,000 - $16,000 = $18,000
- selling of coin collection = $55,000 - $30,000 = $25,000
- total long term capital gains = $43,000
Clarice's taxable income = $73,000
Clarice's ordinary income tax rate 2011:
ordinary income = $30,000 - standard deduction $5,800 = $24,200
- 10% on taxable income from $0 to $8,500 = $850
- 15% on taxable income over $8,500 to $34,500 = $2,355
ordinary income taxes = $3,205
Clarice's capital gains tax rate 2011 = 10%
capital gains taxes = $43,000 x 10% = $4,300
total tax liability = $7,505
Who pays the tax does NOT depend on who write the check to the government.
Who pays the check ultimately depend on the elasticity of supply and demand. This is because, suppliers have several ways of passing the taxes levied on them by the government to the consumers in form of increase in price of their products. But this also depend on the elasticity of the products, because if the prices are too high, some customers may decide to buy somewhere else or to go for a substitute.<span />
