Calculation of Tax revenue, Producer’s Surplus and Deadweight Loss
Question
Suppose you are an aide to a U.S. Senator who is concerned about the impact of a recently proposed excise tax on the welfare of her constituents. You explained to the Senator that one way of measuring the impact on her constituents is to determine how the tax change affects the level of consumer surplus enjoyed by the constituents. Based on your arguments, you are given the go-ahead to conduct a formal analysis, and obtain the following estimates of demand and supply. Don’t worry if the answers are in fractions.
Qd = 500 – 5P and Qs = 3P – 60
a) If a $2 excise tax is levied on this good, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity?

c) How much tax revenue will be raised following the $2 tax?
d) Producer’s surplus:
e) Deadweight Loss

I got stuck with my supply chain assignment when I looked online for help. HwA was the only Australian site which responded almost instantly. When the solution also reached my email just on the next day, I was thrilled. The answers were correct and became a fan. From there on I kept on taking help from them.

1. Process control assignments in chemical engineering were a very difficult challenge for me. I was totally unsure about the application of laplace transform and differential equation in chemistry. Then I came across HwA and their experts are truly knowledgeable. She helped me with my assignments and showed, actually how easy it is.
Laurie Bunting Student
I was very impressed by the time and effort that was put into writing my instrumentation engineering assignment by the assignment expert at HwA. No matter what time of the day or how late into the night it was my assignment help expert was always available to answer my queries and help me write the resistance assignment essay. I got an A grade in the assignment and that has greatly boosted the overall grade for the semester.

I was having problem completing my economics assignment submission on the concept of demand and supply for my mid terms. That is when one of my friends suggested TheReliableTutor.com and they got back to me as soon as I contacted them. I was very impressed by their expert econ tutors and they have been my guides since that time. The professors are happy with the crisp and relevant assignment work and I am happy with their indepth understanding and research for each assignment and timely delivery of assignments. Thank you TheReliableTutor.!!!

Fiona O Farrell: I often lost track of the number of variables and how many equations I needed to evaluate in order to find the values. Then I came across HwA where the experts helped me out with two or three problems and helped me get a feel of how it needs to be done. That extra assistance with my simultaneous equation problems really helped me in the long run and I did well in my final exams.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
