here's 1 more ..
i know that if the tax is imposed the supply curve wud shift to the left (so it can b either A or B )
The marking scheme shows the answer as A (that is .. the supply becomes more inelastic also)
why duz the elasticity change here?

@twilight

There are 2 type of taxes:
(i) Ad Valorem taxes which add a certain percentage on price. (pivots the ss curve to the left)
(ii)Specific taxes which add a fixed amount of money onto costs. (shifts ss curve parallel to the left)

Refer to the attached diagrams

Yes, since it's a percentage... As price rises, the amount of tax imposed of the good rises, thought the percentage of the tax is still constant.

For example, a 10% tax on the good,
Price - 10, amount of tax - 1
Price - 12, amount of tax - 1.2
Price - 14, amount of tax - 1.4

The increase in tax shifts the ss curve further as opposed to a specific amount of tax.

You can ask more questions, though I cannot say for sure I'll know the answers...

It was at the lowest at the start. The percentages aree only the rate of increase. the price level is always increasing but the rate of increase is slowing

No only the price index. The money supply take time to affect the price index. Typically longer than 6 months.
