Question
A government decides to impose a tax on sugary drinks to
discourage consumption due to health concerns. If the demand for sugary drinks is relatively inelastic, what is the likely impact of this tax on: i) Quantity demanded of sugary drinks ii) Tax revenue collected by the governmentSolution
