Question 20 Assume that for good X the supply curve for a good is a typical, upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is a typical downward-sloping straight line. If the good is taxed, and the tax is tripled, the O base of the triangle that represents the deadweight loss triples. O height of the triangle that represents the deadweight loss triples. O All of the above are correct. O deadweight loss of the tax increases by a factor of nine.
