A local Pilates studio recently began offering a monthly subscription service for its patrons.

Suppose a particular patron at this studio has the following willingness-to-pay schedule, per session.

Session	Willingness to Pay
1st	$70
2nd	$60
3rd	$50
4th	$40
5th	$30
6th	$20

Suppose this consumer would not demand any more sessions, even for free. Also assume that the marginal cost to the studio, per session, is constant at $10.

At a price of $55.00 per session, the number of sessions demanded by this consumer would be ___?__

. At this price and quantity, consumer surplus is ___$?__

and producer surplus is ___$?__

Suppose the studio has devised a new pricing scheme for consumers who demand more than 1 session. This pricing scheme is a subscription service, whereby consumers can pay a flat fee of $202.50 and can have up to 6 sessions total.

Using this subscription pricing model, this consumer would demand ___?____ sessions. Under this scenario, consumer surplus is ___$?__

and producer surplus is ___$?__
