Suppose the government imposes a $20-per-bottle tax on suppliers. At this tax amount, the equilibrium quantity of gin is

information about the initial situation is missing, so I looked for similar questions and found the attached image:

The government already imposes a $20 tax per bottle of gin, which has already reduced the equilibrium quantity to 40 bottles (down from 50) and increased the demand price to $60.

If the government imposes another $20 tax, it will decrease the quantity even further to 20 bottles of gin and the price will increase to $80.

The government's revenue from the original tax = $20 x 40 = $800.

Government's revenue after the new tax = $40 x 20 = $800. Even though the government's revenue is still the same, consumer and supplier surplus has decreased dramatically.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
