the tax will decrease both consumers and producers surpluses. Burden of tax will be shared.
In no case producer surplus will increase.

2. Taxes and welfare Consider the market for designer purses. The following graph shows the demand and supply for designer purses before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of designer purses in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the...
