In Panel A of the figure provided, the loss to consumer surplus is: Two graphs titled Panel A and Panel B plot demand and supply curves. The graph in Panel A plots Quantity as Q2 and Q1 along the horizontal axis and Q2 is less than Q1. The graph plots Price as P2, P1, and P3 along the vertical axis in which P2 plots above P1 and P3, and P1 plots above P3.. The demand curve has a steep negative slope, and the supply curve has a positive slope. The curves intersect at point B (Q1 on quantity, P1 on price). Point A at Q2 on quantity, P2 on price is marked on the demand curve. Point C at Q2 on quantity, P3 on price is marked on the supply curve. The vertical distance between point A and C is labeled as tax. Point D is marked at Q2 on quantity, P1 on price. The Panel B graph plots Quantity as Q2 and Q1 along the horizontal axis and Price as P2, P1, and P3 along the vertical axis. The demand curve has a negative slope, and the supply curve has a steep positive slope. The curves intersect at point D (Q1 on quantity, P1 on price). Point C at Q2 on quantity, P3 on price is marked on the demand curve. Point B at Q2 on quantity, P2 on price is marked on the supply curve. The vertical distance between points C and B is labeled as tax. Point A is marked at Q2 on quantity, P1 on price. ACP3P2
