xz_007 [3.2K]3 years ago
4 0
Oligopolies are inefficient as they do not produce the highest overall utility for the society. Since the market of sellers is few they limit the number of products being sold/made in order to limit their cost but increase their profit per unit. This results in the firm's producing the goods to gain more of the utility generated by the market and the consumers receive something much less. The loss of the consumers then out weighs the gain of the producers hence the total utility of the system is lower.

The local government decides to impose a sales tax on some selected items. On item X the final prices increases almost the full
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

It isn't a violation of the law of demand. It is as a result of the elasticity of demand.

A tax is a compulsory sum levied on a good or service. Taxes increases the price of products. In determining whom should bear the greater burden of the tax between the consumer and the seller, elasticities are usually considered. The party with either a relatively inelastic supply or demand bears the greater burden of tax while the party with the more elastic demand or supply bears less burden of tax.

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

Demand (supply) is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on the quantity demanded (supplied).

For good X, consumers have an inelastic demand so they bear more of the tax Burden. As a result of the tax, price increases, yet the quantity demanded doesn't change. Therefore, the total revenue would rise.

For good Y, consumers have an elastic demand. Therefore, they bear less burden of tax. As a result of the increase in price, the quantity demanded falls and total revenue falls.
