Hubris252 has a spectacular aura about
Market D. Deadweight loss is created when fewer goods are purchased as a result of taxation. When elasticity of demand is perfectly inelastic the demand curve is vertical, the market will clear the same number of yachts regardless of the price. A tax imposed in Market D will raise the price of yachts but will not lower the number of yachts sold.
