A graph of price, P, versus quantity, Q, shows a supply curve, S, rising linearly from point (0, 4) to (50, 44), and a demand curve, descending linearly from point (0, 44) to (52, 2). The curves intersect at (25, 24). Point A lies on the demand curve at point (15, 32). Point B lies on the supply curve at point (15, 16). Refer to Figure 8-3. As a result of the tax, consumer surplus decreases from $200 to $80. producer surplus decreases from $200 to $145. the market experiences a deadweight loss of $80. total surplus increases from $180 to $200
