Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The transaction will only be unconsummated if the tax rate is greater than the difference between the consumer's and producer's valuation divided by the transaction price:
($525,000 - $485,000) / $510,000 = 0.098 or 9.8%.
Therefore, a tax rate of 5% would result in the transaction being unconsummated.
($525,000 - $485,000) / $510,000 = 0.098 or 9.8%.
Therefore, a tax rate of 5% would result in the transaction being unconsummated.
