acai bowl he buys.
The following graph plots the monthly market demand curve (blue line) for acai bowls in a hypothetical small economy.
Use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus when the price (P) of acai bowls is $2.25 per bowl. Then, use
the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing additional consumer surplus when the price falls to $1.50 per bowl.
