Answer:

The producers will bear more of the tax than the consumer because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

Explanation:

The options to this question wasn't provided. Here are the options:

The consumers will bear more of the tax than the producer because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

The producers will bear the entirety of the tax because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

The producers will bear more of the tax than the consumer because the supply curve is more inelastic than the demand curve.

The consumers will bear the entirety of the tax because producers set the price.

The producers will bear the entirety of the tax because the government imposed the tax directly on them.

Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

Supply is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity supplied.

The more elastic demand or supply is the more sensitive quantity demanded or supplied to changes in price.

The burden of tax refers to who pays the tax.

If demand is more elastic that supply it means that demand is more price sensitive to changes in price that supply.

This means that if a tax is imposed which increases the price of the good, quantity demand would change more than quantity supplied.

Therefore, the burden of tax is borne by the party with the less elasticity.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

 We shall apply the concept of coefficient of variation to know the consistency of data

coefficient of variation

= standard deviation / mean or average

In case of City A

coefficient of variation  = 86 / 820

= .1048

In case of City B

coefficient of variation  = 75 / 790

= .0949

Since it is less for city B , rent for this city is more consistence or with less of variation

So the conclusion  is false.
