In a particular market, the supply is elastic and demand is inelastic. If a tax is imposed on the sellers, what will happen to the equilibrium price and output? Who will bear a greater burden of the tax and why? Explain and illustrate. Graphically show the tax burdens, the change in producers surplus and consumers surplus as well as the deadweight loss due to the tax.
