UPLOAD A DRAWN PICTURE (however you're able like you did for discussion 1.) Draw the market for yachts, elastic demand, inelastic supply. Impose a tax on buyers of yachts, after all they’re rich and can afford it. Label: the without tax price and quantity, the price buyers pay after the tax, the price sellers receive after the tax, tax revenue, and deadweight loss. Was this program successful in taxing rich yacht buyers?
Lesser the elasticity,greater the burden of tax.
Since supply is inelastic,the burden of tax will be shifted to the suppliers,and buyers will bear lesser burden of the tax.
