How to Adjust the Supply Schedule for a Tax
1. Choose any quantity supplied (QS) from the supply schedule, say 1,200. 2. The minimum price associated with supplying the 1,200th unit is $80. 3. Since imposing a tax increases the costs of production for a producer, we should add the tax of $20 to the price of $80, yielding $100 as the minimum price at which a producer is willing and able to produce the 1,200th unit. 4. The rest of the numbers for the new supply schedule can be filled in noting that every $10 change in price yields a 200 unit change in the quantity supplied. 5. We now have a new supply schedule which represents a decrease in supply

43
Steps for Understanding How a Tax on Producers Affects the Market and Causes a Welfare Loss
1. Social Welfare Maximum, Original Equilibrium, P = $70, Q = 1,000 2. Impose a Tax = $20, Decrease Supply 3. New Equilibrium, P = $80, Q = 800 4. New CS’ = ½ (800)($120-$80) = $16,000 5. New PS’ = ½ (800)($60-$20) = $16,000 6. Tax Rev = (800)($20) = $16,000 7. Compare Before and After Tax CS and PS CS + PS = $50,000 CS’ + PS’ + Tax Rev = $48,000 8. WL = ½ ($20)(200) = $2,000

Figure II-10.3: Effect of a Producer Tax
Tax on producers results in misallocation of resources: Too little output in Taxed Market and too much output in the Rest of Economy Producer Tax Rest of Economy Market Resources (Lower Valued Uses) Output Decreases Output Increases Producer Tax on Market is equivalent to a subsidy for the Rest of Economy

How to Adjust the Supply Schedule for a Subsidy
1. Choose any quantity supplied (QS) from the supply schedule. Say 1,200. 2. The minimum price associated with supplying the 1,200th unit is $80. 3. Since granting a subsidy decreases the costs of production for a producer, we should subtract the subsidy of $20 from the price of $80, yielding $60 as the minimum price that a producer is willing and able to produce the 1,200th unit. 4. The rest of the numbers for the new supply schedule can be filled in noting that every $10 change in price yields a 200 unit change in the quantity supplied. 5. We now have a new supply schedule which represents an increase in supply

Steps for Understanding How a Subsidy to Producers Affects the Market and Causes a Welfare Loss
1. Social Welfare Maximum, Original Equilibrium, P = $70, Q = 1,000 2. Grant a Subsidy = $20, Increase Supply 3. New Equilibrium, P = $60, Q = 1,200 4. Total Subsidy = (1,200)($20) = $24,000 5. WL = $2,000 = ½ ($20)(200)
