In the economy of Agricola, tenant farmers rent the land they use from landowners. If the supply of land is perfectly inelastic, then a tax on land would have no deadweight losses, and the burden of the tax would fall entirely on the landowners.

Tax Revenue (Dollars) Deadweight Loss (Dollars) If the Government Taxes... Windbreakers at $20 per windbreaker Bucket hats at $20 per hat Suppose the government wants to tax the good that will generate more tax revenue at a lower welfare cost. In this case, it should tax because, all else held constant, taxing a good with a relatively elastic demand generates larger tax revenue and smaller deadweight loss.

When the government levies a seller tax on a good whose market demand is perfectly inelastic (and the market supply curve of this good is upward sloping as usual): 1. the entire tax burden falls on to the sellers of this good and there is no deadweight loss. 2. the entire tax burden falls on to the buyers of this good and there is no deadweight loss. 3. the entire tax burden falls on to the sellers of this good and there is deadweight loss. 4. the entire tax burden falls on to the buyers of this good and there is deadweight loss. 5. None of the above choices is correct.
