Suppose that the Tasmanian government is considering imposing a per unit tax on soft drinks collected from consumers to reduce the consumption of sugar (which lowers the health risks associated with consuming sugar in soft drinks) as well as increase government revenue. You have been hired by the Tasmanian government to evaluate the proposed tax. Use a supply and demand model to demonstrate whether the following statement is true or false and provide an explanation.
âThe total amount of government tax revenue generated from a per-unit tax collected from consumers decreases the more inelastic is demand.â
