Use the Law of Demand to explain why all consumers must receive a surplus whenever they purchase more than one unit of a product but may receive no surplus if only one unit is bought. Make up a numerical example to illustrate. Provide two reasons why consumer surplus must increase when the price of a product falls? Explain fully why taxing a product leads to deadweight loss. Use appropriate graphs to explain why the deadweight loss is greater the more...

For these questions you are required to draw a properly labeled Supply/Demand graph with the initial curves labeled S1 and D1, then show which curve shifts by drawing a second curve labeled S2 or D2. State whether the equilibrium price and quantity would increase, decrease, or stay the same. You may just draw the graphs by hand on a separate piece of paper and then take a picture of the page(s) and include them as attachments when you answer these...
