after taxes are imposed, would producer and consumer surplus rise or decline?
Homework Answers
This depends on the price elasticity of demand and supply. For fairly elastic demand and supply curves, tax raises the price consumers pay reduces the price producers receive and finally reduces the quantity. In this manner, both consumer and producer surplus are reduced. This is shown below
In extreme cases when either of the demand or the supply curve is perfectly elastic or inelastic, consumer surplus can be unchanged while producer surplus is reduced or vice versa

Refer to figure and answer the following questions: Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus and total surplus at the equilibrium. If the government imposes a $6 tax per unit then what will be the new consumer surplus, new producer surplus and total surplus? Did the government gain something after the taxes are imposed? If yes, calculate the amount. Is there any deadweight loss after the taxes? If yes calculate the amount and explain why it occurred?

Questions 3 & 4 are more important. Explain consumer and producer surplus and provide an example of each. What happens to the consumer surplus and producer surplus when price increases or decreases? Explain the relationship between the tax size and deadweight loss. When tax causes deadweight loss then why it is imposed in the first place? Who gains in this situation? Also if tax has to be imposed how to determine what size of tax will generate optimum tax revenue...
