Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and economic surplus at the initial equilibrium provided in the diagram. Suppose the government taxes chelts $6. What happens to consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total (economic) surplus? (That is, re-calculate and compare.) What is the resulting deadweight loss? Does the tax cause an efficiency loss due to underproduction or overproduction? In your view, how could this efficiency loss be justified? Label all important components of the supply and demand diagram used for this analysis. 35 30 1972 20 15 9 10 Supply & Demand of Chelts n 20 BROEKELUD Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and economic surplus at the initial equilibrium provided in the diagram.
