Use the green quadrilateral (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents the effect of the quota on producer surplus (PS). Use the red triangles (cross symbols) to shade the areas that represent the deadweight loss (DWL) resulting from the quota. Use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area that represents the effect of the quota rents.
