The market demand function for corn is Qd = 15 - 2P and the market supply function is Qs = 5P - 2.5, both measured in billions of bushels per year. Suppose the government imposes a $2.10 tax per bushel. What will be the effects on aggregate surplus, consumer surplus, and producer surplus? What will be the deadweight loss created by the tax?
