1. Consumer and Producer Surplus If sandals are selling in the marketplace for $55, that does not mean that everyone would pay $55, as some would be willing to pay more than that. Assuming that consumer A is willing to pay $90, consumer B is willing to pay $80, consumer C is willing to pay $65, and consumer D is willing to pay $55, then determine the total consumer surplus for the sandals. Meanwhile, if producer X is willing to accept a price of $30, if producer Y is willing to accept a price of $45, and if producer Z is willing to accept a price of $55, then determine the total producer surplus for the sandals.
