Answer:

a

Explanation:

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.

Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A. The majority of the tax will be borne by the producer.

Explanation:

When an Indirect Tax (impact & incidence on different people) is levied : The burden of it is shifted to the party (buyers/ sellers) whose element (demand/ supply) is more inelastic (less responsive to price).

In this case: If demand for Carlo Rossi wine is relatively elastic (because of substitutes presence) - levying tax on it will hence imply major burden to be borne be producer (because demand is relatively elastic).

b,c : All tax will be borne passed to consumer / producer - if demand is perfectly inelastic/ if supply will be perfectly inelastic respectively.

d: Majority tax will be borne by consumer - if demand is relatively inelastic (than supply)
