Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of tangerines and the equilibrium quantity of tangerines in Guatemala in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium.
