Answer:

B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.

Explanation:

Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.

But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.

If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.

Note: See the attached excel file for the table showing how the trend percents are calculated.

Trend percents, often known as index numbers, can be described as percents that are used for comparing financial data across time to a based year or period. This can be calculated using the following formula:

Trend percents = (Analysis year amount / Base year amount) * 100 ........ (1)

Using equation (1), the following table shows the trend percents computed as follows:

                                     2019         2018     2017      2016     2015
