Suppose that demand for gasoline is 0.5 (Ed=0.5) and the supply of gasoline pizza is 1.25 (E, =1.25). If the government imposes a $1 per gallon excise tax on the production of gasoline, then theprice that consumers pay will and the price that producers receive willO increase by more than $0.50; decrease by more than $0.50.O increase by more than $0.50, but less than $1; increase by more than $0.50, but less than $1.increase by more than $0.50, but less than $1; decrease by less than $0.50.decrease by more than $0.50, but less than $1; increase by less than $0.50.increase by less than $0.50; decrease by more than $0.50, but less than $1.

Elasticity measures the responsiveness of quantity to changes in price level.
