The following graph represents the demand and supply for an imaginary good called a pinckney. The black point (plus symbol) indicates the pre-tax equilibrium. Suppose the government has just decided to impose a tax on this market; the grey points (star symbol) indicate the after-tax scenario. Demand Supply 35.00 PRICE (Dollars per Pinckney) 20.00 QUANTITY (Pinckneys) Complete the following table, given the information presented on the graph. Result Equilibrium quantity after tax Value Per-unit tax Price producers receive before tax In the following table, indicate which of the previous graph's areas corresponds to each concept. Check all that apply. Concept A B C D E Producer surplus after the tax is imposed Deadweight loss after the tax is imposed Consumer surplus after the tax is imposed
