Answer:

B) $120.

Explanation:

the deadweight loss is equal to the total economic loss = $60,000

and the total economic loss = 1/2 x decrease in quantity sold x tax (since the deadweight loss is a triangle, the formula is 1/2 x base x height), so:

1/2 x decrease in quantity sold x tax = deadweight loss

1/2 x 1,000 x tax = $60,000

tax = $60,000 / 500 = $120
