which statement is correct A result of welfare economics is that the price of a product is considered to be the best price because it maximizes total surplus. A seller would be willing to sell a product only if the price received is less than the cost of production. Suppose that the equilibrium wage in the labor market is $8.00 per hour of labor. If a law increased the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.00 per hour of labor, any possible increase in producer surplus would be smaller than the loss of consumer surplus. In a market, for any given quantity, the price on a demand curve represents the marginal buyer's willingness to pay.
Consider the labor market. Draw a graph illustrating an effective minimum wage in the labor market. Please make sure to label the axes accordingly and state who the supplier (workers or firms) and who the demander is (workers or firms). Indicate (clearly) consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss in your graph.
