Question :
Answer :
Price before tax = P = $10
Quantity before tax = 500
Price paid by consumer after tax = Pt = $12
Quantity after tax = Q = 400
Price received by producer after tax = $8
Price Consumer willing to pay = Pw= $20
Consumer Surplus before tax = 


C.S = 1/2 * 500 * ($20 - $10) = $2500
Consumer surplus after tax =
C.S = 1/2 * 400 * ($20 - $12) = $1600
Consumer surplus decreased from $2500 to $1600.

Consider the Bolivian market for lemons. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for lemons in Bolivia. Suppose Bolivia's government currently does not allow international trade in lemons. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of lemons and the equilibrium quantity of lemons in Bolivia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use...
