Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The demand elasticity is -1.4.

The supply elasticity is 1.2.

Since the demand is elastic, the imposition of tax will not be profitable for the government.

The imposition of tax will increase the price of the good, this will decrease the demand for good, thus the revenue will decrease.  

The tax incidence on consumers

= E (supply) / (E (demand)) + E (supply)  

= \frac{1.2}{1.2 - 1.4}

= \frac{1.2}{-0.2}

= -6
