For Frisbees, the supply curve is the typical upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is the typical downward-sloping straight line. A tax of $20 per unit is imposed on blue Frisbees. The tax reduces the equilibrium quantity in the market by 300 units. The deadweight loss from the tax is. O. $3,000 O. $6,000 O. $1,000 O. $2,000

The demand and supply functions for basic cable TV in the local market are given as: QD = 200,000 – 4,000P QS =20,000 + 2,000P. If the government implements a price ceiling of $15 on the price of basic cable service, what will be the quantity of cable service that will prevail in the market? Is there a surplus or a shortage, and if so, how much? With the new government policy, is there a deadweight loss in the market? If so, why is there a deadweight loss and how much is the deadweight loss? Are consumers better off or worse off with this policy? Are producers better off or worse off? Is society on the whole better off or worse off?
Suppose that the market for product X is characterized by a typical, downward-sloping, linear demand curve and a typical, upward-sloping, linear supply curve. If a $2 tax per unit results in a deadweight loss of $200, how large would be the deadweight loss from a $4 tax per unit?
