A tax is imposed on a market where demand is inelastic and supply is elastic. The tax burden falls mainly on:
A. Buyers, because they are the less responsive side✓ 答案
B. Sellers only, because the law names them
C. The government, which collects the revenue
D. Buyers and sellers in exactly equal shares
解說
Tax incidence depends on relative elasticities, not on who legally pays. The less elastic side has less ability to adjust, so it bears more of the burden.
