<span>Put all of these numbers in a line...obviously, don't put ALL of them, but enough so you can see what you're doing. 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 297,624,985 Now put all these numbers BACKWARDS underneath that. 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 297,624,985 297,624,985 + 297,624,984 + 297,624,983 + ... + 1 Now add the first series to the second, and you'll see that they add up to: 297,624,986 + 297,624,986 + 297,624,986 + ...297,624,986 Since there were 297,624,985 terms, the total sum here is 297,624,986 * 297,624,985 But since you added it twice, you divide it by two: 148,812,493 * 297,624,985 This is 44,290,315,996,937,605, so...yes, it is MUCH larger.</span>

Suppose a tax of $4 per unit is imposed on a good, and the tax causes the equilibrium quantity of the good to decrease from 2,00
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

option (c) $600

Explanation:

Given:

Tax = $4 per unit

Initial equilibrium quantity = 2,000 units

Final equilibrium quantity = 1,700 units

Decrease in consumer surplus = $3,000

Decrease in consumer surplus = $4,400

Now,

Deadweight Loss is calculated using the formula:

Deadweight loss

= \frac{1}{2} × Tax × (Original equilibrium quantity - New equilibrium quantity)

on substituting the respective values, we get

Deadweight loss = \frac{1}{2} × 4 × (2,000 - 1,700)

or

Deadweight loss =  2 × (3)  = $600

Hence,

the correct answer is option (c) $600
