If the government removes a $1 tax on sellers of gasoline and imposes the same $1 tax on buyers of gasoline, then the price paid by buyers will
not change, and the price received by sellers will not change.
Refer to Figure 6-1. A binding price ceiling is shown in
panel (b) only.
Refer to Figure 8-1. Suppose the government imposes a tax of P' - P'''. The area measured by L+M+Y represents
producer surplus before the tax.
If a nonbinding price ceiling is imposed on a market, then the
quantity sold in the market will stay the same.
Refer to Figure 6-14. If the horizontal line on the graph represents a price floor, then the price floor is
not binding, and there will be no surplus or shortage of the good.

Table 7-5 For each of three potential buyers of oranges, the table displays the willingness to pay for the first three oranges of the day. Assume Allison, Bob, and Charisse are the only three buyers of oranges, and only three oranges can be supplied per day.
