The market for dog beds currently has a price ceiling at $30. Demand for dog beds is P = 79 - 0.012Q and supply is P = 6 + 0.008Q. Then the government eliminates the price ceiling and allows the market to reach the equilibrium. As a resuit, more consumers enter the market. For those consumers who enter the market, how much consumer surplus will they gain? Answer:
