Does destroying supply create deadweight loss? (urgent)?

Question

if Short run supply curve is perfectly inelastic (for a harvested product that cant be grown till next year). If the government destroyed half the harvest to raise price, does this create a deadweight loss? (0 transportation costs)

Answer 1

Yes because it raises the price above marginal cost.  Any time price is above MC, except in the circumstances when a monopoly can perfectly price discriminate, there are dead weight loses.
