- Consumer surplus is calculated by taking the difference of the price consumers are willing to pay and the price actually paid. When the price is $4, the consumer would buy only two bottles because the value the consumer would get from the first bottle is $7. This implies, the surplus is $3. Similarly for the second bottle, the value the consumer would get from consuming it is $5 where the price the consumer will pay is $4, this implies the surplus is $1. Lastly, for the third bottle the value is $3 and the price is $4 so the price surpasses the value, therefore the consumer will not consumer beyond two bottles. The consumer surplus could be calculated as: Consumer Surplus = (7-4) + (5-4) = 3 + 1 = 2 This means the consumer will buy two bottles. If the price falls to $2, the consumer would only buy three bottles because the value the consumer gets from the first bottle valued at $7 versus the $2 paid implies a consumer…arrow_forwardAt 10 million hours, what areas make up the total economic surplus in this market?arrow_forwardConsider the market for computers.
