Hugo decides to buy his Christmas gifts on Black Friday. To simplify his life, he is giving his 10 closest friends scarves for Christmas and everyone else Christmas cards. Hugo is willing to pay up to $20 each for 10 scarves. When he arrives at Macy’s at 5:00 A.M. on Black Friday, he discovers that scarves are on sale for $12 each. Hugo buys 10 scarves and uses the remaining $80 to buy himself some clothes. How much consumer surplus did Hugo receive from the tenth scarf he purchased?

Shouldn't he have purchased more since they were such a good deal compared to what he was willing to pay? Now suppose the manager at Macy’s had 100 scarves in inventory. She decided to put the scarves on sale for $10, but an employee accidentally listed the sales price as $12. To the manager’s surprise, the store sold all 100 scarves at the $12 sales price.

(ALL OWNERSHIP GOES TO CENGAGE) Consider the market for air conditioning units. The following graph shows the demand and supply for air conditioning units before the government imposes any taxes. First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of air conditioning units in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price. (image below) 2.
