Question 35
Refer to the Figure 2-1. What is producer surplus after the tax?
You can answer this in one (or more) of the following ways:
Paste a picture or drawing of where to visually find the producer surplus on the graph.
Describe in words where on a graph you would find producer surplus (ex: in relation to supply curve, demand curve, above or below or between certain price or quantities)
Calculate the producer surplus numerically.
Describe conceptually what the producer surplus is in this context.
The following graph represents the demand and supply for blinkies (an imaginary product). The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax
equilibrium. Suppose the government has just decided to impose a tax on this market; the grey points (star symbol) indicate the after-tax scenario.
