The more elastic demand is the ______ the burden of the tax borne by ______.
A) smaller; consumer and producers
B) larger; consumers
C) larger; producers
D) smaller; producers
E) larger; consumers and producers


The more inelastic is supply the ______ is the burden of tax borne by ______.
A) larger; producers and consumers
B) smaller; consumers and producers
C) smaller; producers
D) smaller; consumers
E) None of the above.

Sonya is employed at a stock brokerage firm where she earns $25 per hour. The office she works at is located downtown. To get to work each day, she must either ride a series of buses that takes one-and-a-half hours at a cost of $2, or take a cab that takes 30 minutes and costs $20. Assuming she goes to work, the opportunity cost
A) of riding the bus is $2, and taking the cab is $20.
B) of riding the bus is $37.50, and taking the cab is $12.50.
C) of riding the bus is $35.50, and taking the cab is -$5.
D) of riding the bus is $39.50, and taking the cab is $32.50.
E) of riding the bus is $27, and taking the cab is $20.

The first 2 have inconsistent answers and last one i jus dun get

1) C) The more elastic demand is the larger the burden of tax is borne by producers.

2) E) None of the above. I think the statement is true when "...larger...producers".

3) Opportunity (or Economic) cost is the sum of the explicit (or accounting) costs (the cost of the trip) + the implicit costs (which are the "monetary income a firm [or in this case, sonya] sacrifices when... it [produces] a product rather than... [supplies it], eg. forgone wages [of $25/h]" Bajada C., 2004).
So, let us suppose sonya takes the bus trip. the opportunity cost of her trip is: $2 + $25 x 1.5 = $2 + $37.5 = $39.5
If she takes the taxi, the opportunity cost of her trip is: $20 + $25 x 0.5 = $20 + $12.5 = $32.5

So the answer is D.
