Consumer surplus before the ban equals .5 ∗ 75 ∗ 75 = $2812.5. Producer surplus before the ban equals .5 ∗ 25 ∗ 25 = $312.5. Total social welfare equals $3125. The consumer surplus after the ban equals .5 ∗ 50 ∗ 50 = $1250. Producer surplus equals .5 ∗ 50 ∗ 50 = $1250 after the ban. Total social welfare equals $2500. Consumer surplus has decreased by $1562.5 and producer surplus has increased by $937.5 because of the ban. Total social welfare has decreased by $625. The country is worse off because the total social welfare has decreased.
