The demand for ice cream is given by QD=20−2P, measured ingallons of ice cream. The supply of ice cream is givenby QS=4P−10. Use negative signs where appropriate. Round tothe nearest one-hundredth decimal place (0.01).
b. Suppose that the government legislates a $1 tax on a gallonof ice cream, to be collected from the buyer. Find the newequilibrium price and quantity.
New Equilibrium Price: P'=
New Equilibrium Quantity: Q'=

e. Calculate the consumer surplus after the tax.
CS=
f. Calculate the producer surplus after the tax.
