a. Suppose there is a $3.00 per unit subsidy given to consumers. Draw the after-subsidy demand curve.
Instructions: Use the tool provided (S2) to draw the after-subsidy demand curve. Be sure your endpoints are at Q = 0 and Q = 180.
b. Plot the after-subsidy price paid by consumers and the after-subsidy price received by sellers. Instructions: Use the tools provided to draw the after-subsidy price paid by consumers (After-subsidy Pc) and the after-subsidy price received by sellers (After-subsidy Ps).
c. Draw the deadweight loss after the subsidy, Instructions: Use the tool provided to draw deadweight loss (DWL).
d. Deadweight loss is million.
Solution
A)
B) Price level is $10 and Quantity is 100 million
C)
Dead Weight Loss = (11-8) x 80 = $240 million
