- Question 15 To calculate producer surplus, one finds the area under the demand curve and above the supply curve. Group of answer choices True Falsearrow_forwardAssume that a firm is willing to sell its product for at least 100 TL and the going price for that product is 150 TL in the market. Then what is the producer surplus of this firm for each product sold? A. 100 TL B. 0 TL C. 150 TL D. 250 TL E. 50 TLarrow_forwardwhich statement is correct Moving production from a high-cost producer to a low-cost producer will decrease total surplus. Suppose the United States changed its laws to allow for the legal sale of a kidney and the government allowed a free market in organs for transplant then there would be a decrease in the price of a kidney and an increase in the shortage of kidneys for transplant. Total surplus in the market is the summation of consumer surplus and producer surplus and it is maximized at the market equilibrium in the absence of market power and externalities. If a good is not being produced by sellers with the lowest cost, then the market reflects inefficiency in the allocation of resources. Welfare economics deals with how the allocation of resources affects economic well-being. The willingness to pay is a measure of how much the buyer values the good. The marginal seller is the seller who would leave the market first if the price were any higher.arrow_forward
