Answer:

Liquor consumers

Explanation:

Price elasticity measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a great effect on quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is usually greater than 1.

Demand is inelastic if changes in price has little or no impact on the quantity demanded. Coefficient of elasticity is usually less than 1.

The elasticity of demand for liquor is -0.4 while the elasticity of supply for liquor is 3.5. Therefore the demand for liquor is inelastic while the supply of liquor is elastic.

If taxes are imposed on consumers, the quantity demanded wouldn't change or change a little.

If taxes are imposed on suppliers, the quantity supplied would fall more.

Therefore , the burden of tax can be passed on more to consumers.

I hope my answer helps you.

Classify each characteristic as relating to a fixed exchange rate regime or a flexible, or floating, exchange rate regime.a. sig
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

(A) Fixed exchange rate regime

(B) Fixed exchange rate

(C) Flexible exchange rate

(D) Flexible exchange rate

Explanation:

(A) A fixed exchange rate regime signals a commitment not to engage in inflationary policies. NOTE: Inflationary policies are a type of monetary policies (the type used to pump money into the economy). See answer (D).

(B) A fixed exchange rate regime provides certainty about the value of a currency, for example, when the exchange rate between Philippine Pesos and Arab Emirate Dollars is fixed at 10PHP - 1AED, traders in this currency will be certain that at any planning time in business, investment or consumption, 10 PHP will be equal to 1 AED.

(C) Flexible exchange rate distorts incentives for importing and exporting goods and services. What are these incentives? On the government side, it is either the revenue that government makes from import tariffs and duties OR the subsidy that government pays on exported goods. On the importer/exporter side, it is the custom duties paid by importers on imported goods AND the subsidies enjoyed by exporters on exported products. A flexible exchange rate distorts or fluctuates these incentives.

(D) Flexible exchange rate enables policy makers to engage in monetary policy. Now, monetary policy is a tool used by ministers of finance or policy makers in every country; to regulate (increase or reduce or bring back to normal) spending and investment. If the exchange rate between or among countries were fixed, monetary policies would have limited application or usefulness when implemented. A flexible exchange rate encourages and enables engagement in or use of monetary policies.
