Explain by how much consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus change. Who benefits most from the subsidy? b) Instead of calculating new CS and TS, are there other ways to understand who would get most of the subsidy gains. c) If the subsidy was given to consumers instead of producers, who would benefits most from it? Why?

Please written by computer source Suppose that the demand curve for a product is given by Q = 100 −10p and the supply curve is Q = 10p.
