Suppose the equilibrium price of organic almond butter is $10 a jar. At that price, quantity of almond butter demanded and supplied is 100,000. If a $6 tax per jar paid by suppliers increases the equilibrium price to $14 per jar and reduces the equilibrium quantity sold to 90,000:

B) consumers pay a greater portion of the tax because they are less price elastic.
C) suppliers pay a greater portion of the tax because the tax is levied on them.
