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.
