3 Eggs have a supply curve that is linear and upward-sloping and a demand curve that is linear and downward-sloping. If a 2 cent per egg tax is increased to 3 cents, the deadweight loss of the tax a increases by less than 50 per cent and may even decline.

b increases by exactly 50 per cent.

c increases by more than 50 per cent.

d depends on whether supply or demand is more elastic.
