Green et al. (2005) estimate that the demand elasticity is minus0.47 and the long-run supply elasticity is 12.0 for almonds. The corresponding elasticities are minus0.68 and 0.73 for cotton and minus0.26 and 0.64 for processing tomatoes. If the government were to apply a specific tax to each of these commodities, what incidence would fall on consumers? The incidence of a specific almond tax that would fall on consumers is nothing percent. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to one decimal place.)

    The numeric response for the question using real numbers rounded to one decimal place is given as below.

    Explanation:

    Tax incidence for almonds is (12 / (12 + 0.47)) = 0.96

    for cotton (0.73 / (0.73 + 0.68)) = 0.52 and

    for processing tomatoes is (0.64 / (0.64 + 0.26)) = 0.71
