1. Define "consumer surplus" and "producer surplus."
Consumer surplus (CS) is the benefit surplus received by a consumer or consumers through market
transactions. A CS arises because all consumers pay the equilibrium price even though some
consumers would be willing to pay more. CS is measured as the difference between the (maximum.
minimum ) price a consumer is (or consumers are) willing to pay (WTP) ( plus, minus , the same as )
the actual price. Consumer surplus is (directly, inversely) related to price.
Producer surplus (PS) is the benefit surplus received by a producer or producers through market
transactions. A PS arises because some producers are willing to sell a product at a lower price than
the equilibrium price. PS is measured as the difference between the actual price the producer receives
(or producers receive) and the (maximum, minimum ) price a producer is (or producers are) willing
to accept (WTA) as a selling price. Producer surplus is directly, inversely) related to…
