Answer:

c. producers

Explanation:

Since it is given in the question that the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic but the price elastic of supply is relatively inelastic but if the excise tax is imposed on the goods so the greater burden of the tax would be on the producers as the supply is inelastic so the producers could not changed much but if we compare to the consumers, the consumer could change the demand more than before due to the elastic in demand.

So, the correct option is c.

B.Small glove 8.52

Medium glove 10.65

Large glove 12.78

Explanation:

Pattern Department = 165,200/2,900

= 56.9 Approximately 57 per DLH

Cut and Sew Department = 273,000/3,500

= 78 per DLH

Therefore two production department factory overhead rates will be :

Pattern Department 57 per DLH

Cut and Sew Department 78 per DLH

b) Calculation of the factory overhead cost per unit

Small glove (57*.04+78*.08)=8.52

Medium glove (57*.05+78*.10)=10.65

Large glove (57*.06+78*.12)=12.78

Therefore the factory overhead per unit for each product will be: Small glove 8.52

Medium glove 10.65

Large glove 12.78
