- 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.
