Price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is relatively inelastic at low prices and relatively elastic at high prices. For example, at an average of $2 per pack, the price elasticity of demand is -0.34. At an average of $10 per pack, the price elasticity of demand is -1.70. States want to tax cigarettes because of their negative externalities and to acquire revenue. Two states plan to increase their cigarette taxes by 10%. In State A, the price per pack is $2. In State B, the price per pack is $10. Given the information above, would a 10% tax increase have different effects on cigarette consumption and tax revenue in these states? Explain.

. Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the local government of Ogden decides to institute a tax on seltzer consumers. Before the tax, 20 billion packs of seltzer were sold every year at a price of $9 per pack. After the tax, 13 billion packs of seltzer are sold every year; consumers pay $12 per pack (including the tax), and producers receive $6 per pack. The amount of the tax on a pack of seltzer is $ burden that falls on producers is $ True per pack. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on producers. False per pack.
