(a) What quantity will be sold in the market?
(b) What price will consumers pay in the market?
(c) By how much will consumer surplus change as a result of the tax?
(d) By how much will the producer surplus change as a result of the tax?
(e) How much revenue will the government collect from this excise tax?
(1) Calculate the deadweight loss created by the tax.

The graph shows market for printers at equilibrium at price of $100 and quantity of 100. Suppose government imposes a tax of $30 per printer on buyers of printer. After
the tax is in effect:
A. What is the Quantity exchanged in the market?
B. What is the buyers' price?
C. What is the sellers' Price?
D. What is the incidence of Tax?
E. Show the deadweight loss on your graph. You can draw the graph on paper and upload an image as a PNG, JPEG or PDF document. Please keep in mind that I can not

On the same graph, assume that the government imposes a $5 tax on cookies. Show on the graph the following: what happens to the price paid by the buyers, what happens to the price received by the sellers, the size of the tax, what happens to the quantity sold, what the consumer surplus is after the tax, what the producer surplus is after the tax, what the government tax revenue is after the tax, and what the deadweight loss is after the tax Use letters to label the different areas on the graph where needed.

After the federal government imposes a $3.00 per pizza tax, the equilibrium price of pizzas rises to $10.00, and the equilibrium quantity falls to 9 million. Compare the economic surplus in this market when there is no tax to when there is a tax on pizza. With the tax, the change in economic surplus is A. the new surplus equal to the area under the demand curve and above the supply curve for units between the quantity with the tax and market equilibrium quantity. B. the deadweight loss equal to the area under the demand curve and above the supply curve for units between the quantity with the tax and market equilibrium quantity.

- I understand that total surplus is consumer surplus plus producer surplus. And I understand that deadweight loss occurs from the tax. How do I actually find the answer to this question though? How do I math it? The only equation I’ve used for this chapter so far is for the area of a triangle which ia 1/1 x B xH.  If you could graph this out for me that would be great.
