You are planning a move across town. Doing your research you find that the average rate of a moving company is $250 per hour for two movers (moving truck included). The marginal benefit you receive from each hour of the two movers’ time (and truck) is listed in the accompanying table. Hours of movers’ time Marginal benefit 1 hour $850 2 hours $620 3 hours $500 4 hours $250 5 hours $150 6 hours $100 7 hours $0 For how many hours should you hire the movers? How much consumer surplus do you receive? Now suppose that instead of paying per hour, a moving company offers a flat rate of $1,500 for two movers plus a truck for an eight-hour day. Would you hire the movers? How has your consumer surplus changed?

The accompanying diagram illustrates a taxi driver’s individual supply curve (assume that each taxi ride is the same distance). a. Suppose the city sets the price of taxi rides at $4 per ride, and at $4 the taxi driver is able to sell as many taxi rides as he desires. What is this taxi driver’s producer surplus? (Recall that the area of a right triangle is ½ × the height of the triangle × the base of the triangle.) b. Suppose that the city keeps the price of a taxi ride set at $4, but it decides to charge taxi drivers a “licensing fee.” What is the maximum licensing fee the city could extract from this taxi driver? c. Suppose that the city allowed the price of taxi rides to increase to $8 per ride. Again assume that, at this price, the taxi driver sells as many rides as he is willing to offer. How much producer surplus does an individual taxi driver now get? What is the maximum licensing fee the city could charge this taxi driver?
