When a tax is imposed on a market?

When a tax is imposed on a market it will reduce the quantity that will be sold in the market. As we learned in a previous lesson, whenever the quantity sold in the market is not the equilibrium quantity, there will be inefficiencies.

When the tax is imposed in this market consumer surplus is?

When the sale of a good is taxed, both consumer surplus and producer surplus decline. The decline in consumer surplus and producer surplus exceeds the amount of government revenue that is raised, so society's total surplus declines.

When a tax is imposed on the sellers of a good the supply curve shifts?

Overall Point: A tax on sellers shifts the supply curve upward by the amount of the tax.

What is producer surplus measured in?

ANSWER: Producer surplus measures the benefit to sellers of participating in a market. It is measured as the amount a seller is paid minus the cost of production. For an individual sale, producer surplus is measured as the difference between the market price and the cost of production, as shown on the supply curve.
