explain the incidence of subsidies for perfectly elastic/inelastic demand and supply curves pls :)
The graphs are presented above. When the government announces subsidy for a firm, the supply curve for the firm shifts rightwards and it means that it has increased, due to this, the cost of the product decreases. However, in case of perfectly elastic demand, the provision of subsidy has little or no effect on the price level.

That means for perfectly inelastic supply also there is no effect on price right?

Tax is a burden, subsidy is paid to the producer in case he's producing merit goods and thus generating positive externality. Subsidy allows the output to be reached at SOL/Optimum resource allocation point/Pareto opitmality point.
