8. Total economic surplus The following graph plots the supply and demand curves in the market for VR headsets. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of VR headsets. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to fill the area representing consumer surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to fill the area representing producer surplus. (?)

Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to fill the area representing consumer surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to fill the area representing producer surplus.
9) MARKET EQUILIBRIUM Suppose the demand for a product is given by p = d(q) = -0.4q + 300 and the supply for the same product is given by p = s(q) = 0.2q. For both functions, q is the quantity and p is the price, in dollars. a. Find the equilibrium point. (i.e. the market demand quantity and the market price) b. Find the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price. c. Find the producer surplus at the equilibrium price.

3. Consumer surplus for a group of consumers The following graph plots the demand curve (blue line) for several consumers in the market for motor scooters in Meade, a small town located in Kansas. The Meade market price of a motor scooter is given by the horizontal black line at $80. Each rectangle you can place on the following graph corresponds to a particular buyer in this market: orange (square symbols) for Dmitri, green (triangle symbols) for Frances, purple (diamond symbols) for Jake, tan (dash symbols) for Latasha, and blue (circle symbols) for Nick. Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing consumer surplus for each person who is willing and able to purchase a motor scooter at a market price of $80. (Note: If a person will not purchase a motor scooter at the market price, indicate this by leaving his or her rectangle in its original position on the palette.) PRICE (Dollars per motor scooter) 160 140 120 Dmitri Frances Jake 100 80 60 40 20 Dmitri Frances Market Price…
6. Producer surplus and price changes The following graph plots a supply curve (orange line) for a group of recent graduates looking to sell used air fryers. Each seller has only a single used air fryer available for sale. Think of each rectangular area beneath the supply curve as the "cost," or minimum price that each seller is willing to accept. Assume that anyone who has a cost that equals the market price is willing to sell their used air fryer.
