Answer:

$105

Explanation:

Missing word "The deadweight loss of this tax is...?"

Change in price = $10

Original quantity = 89 units

New quantity = 77 unit

Change in quantity= 89 units-77 units = 12 units

Dead-weight loss = 1/2 * Change in price * Change in quantity

Dead-weight loss = 1/2 * $10 * $21

Dead-weight loss = $105

Therefore, the dead-weight loss of this tax is $105.
