Suppose that in a perfectly competitive market, demand is given by Q=59.0-P and supply is given by Q=P-28.0. The government imposes a per-unit excise tax of $1 on the good. What is consumer surplus after that tax is imposed? No units, no rounding.
Answer
after-tax the supply curve is:
Q=P-28
P=Q+28
adding tax
P=Q+28+1=Q+29
P=Q+29
Q=P-29
now the equilibrium at new supply =Qd
P-29+59-P
2P=88
P=44=price consumer pay
Q=59-44=15
Consumer surplus is the area above price and below the demand curve
CS=0.5*(Y-axis intercept of the demand curve -P)*Q
=0.5*(59-44)*15
=112.5
the consumer surplus is 112.5
