Answer #1

Before tax : The total spending by consumer is the area of rectangle which is equal to (equilibrium price)(equilibrium quantity)= (P1)(Q1)

And the total revenue for producers is the area of rectangle which is equal to (equilibrium price)(equilibrium quantity)= (P1)(Q1) .

After tax : The total spending by consumers is the area of rectangle which is equal to (Price paid by buyers after tax)(equilibrium quantity after tax)= (P2)(Q2)

And the total revenue for producers is the area of rectangle which is equal to (price received by sellers after tax)(equilibrium quantity after tax)= (P3)(Q2)

Tax revenue is the area of rectangle which is equal to the (difference between prices paid and receive after tax by buyers and sellers)(equilibrium quantity after tax) = (T)(Q2)

Price 3 Demand 0 Qantity Co

As a result of the tax , the price received by producers falls because P3<P1 and total revenue for producers decreases because Q2<Q1 .

As a result of the tax, the price paid by consumers rises as P2>P1, and total consumer spending rises as long as demand is inelastic.

TRUE whether consumer spending falls or rises , consumer surplus falls because there is an increase in price and decrease in quantity.
