Question

1. Here is the demand for coconuts:

P              3             4             5            6           7           8           9           11           13           16           20

QD          1100      1000      900      800      700      600      500        400        300        200        100

And here is supply

P              3             4             5             6             7            8            9            10          11           12             13

QS           100        200        300        400        500        600        700        800        900        1000       1100

Identify the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer and producer surplus and show them on a graph.  The graph should be pretty simple here, the main issue is finding the numbers for consumer and producer surplus.  Again, let me reiterate: I WANT NUMBERS FOR CONSUMER AND PRODUCER SURPLUS! Furthermore, I want you to do this the way that I do.  In other words, calculate it like it's a bunch of rectangles.  Don't do the triangle thing that they do in the videos.  (Notice that I made it so one of them isn't a triangle.)  Also, when doing this keep in mind that the width of these rectangles will not be 1 so be careful.  (What is it....? )
