Leonard, Sheldon, Raj, and Howard each like science fiction moves. The price of a special boxed set of Star Trek DVDs is $50. Leonard values the set of movies at $70, Sheldon at $65, Raj at $60, and Howard at $55. Suppose that if the government taxes DVDs at $10 each, the price rises to $60. A consequence of the tax is that consumer surplus shrinks by a. $50 and tax revenues increase by $30, so there is a deadweight loss of $20. b. 35 and tax revenues increase by $30, so there is a deadweight loss of $5. c. $20 and tax revenues increase by $20, so there is no deadweight loss. d. $15 and tax revenues increase by $20, so there is no deadweight loss. e. $40 and tax revenues increase by $40, so there is no deadweight loss.
