What does tax imply about the size of elasticity of demand


Problem

In 1990, the U.S. government imposed a 10 percent tax on certain luxuries such as pleasure boats. Sales of pleasure boats fell by nearly 90 percent in southern Florida as prospective buyers bought boats in the Bahamas to avoid paying the tax. What does this imply about the size of the elasticity of demand?

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
