The price at c is $5 per bag. The price at f is $59 per bag. The price at g is $31 per bag. Apply the formula for the area of a triangle (Area = ½ x Base x Height) to answer the following questions.

b. What is the dollar value of the deadweight loss when output level Q 2 is being produced? What is the total surplus when output level Q 2 is being produced?
c. What is the dollar value of the deadweight loss when output level Q 3 is produced? What is the dollar value of the total surplus when output level Q 3 is produced?
