The government is considering levying a tax of $25 per unit on suppliers of either windbreakers or bucket hats. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for windbreakers is shown byDWDW(on the first graph), and the demand for bucket hats is shown by DBDB(on the second graph).Suppose the government taxes windbreakers. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S+TaxS+Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($25 per windbreaker).

On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for windbreakers. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax.
