Question
Referring to question 1: The amount of producer surplus in this market is $_____.  Make sure you round your answer to two decimal places (and include the decimal point and two decimal places to the right in your answer, and if your answer requires a comma, put the comma in the appropriate place).
 
**Analyzing the Effect of a Price Floor on Consumer and Producer Surplus**

The figure illustrates a market in equilibrium. Use the figure to answer the following questions:

1) Suppose that each notch along the vertical axis represents a $10 increment, so that \( P_0 \) is $30. Suppose also that each notch along the horizontal axis represents 100 units of quantity, so that \( Q_0 \) is 300. Calculate the amounts of consumer and producer surplus in the market.

**Graph Explanation:**

- The graph features a standard supply and demand curve intersecting at a point marked \( (Q_0, P_0) \), suggesting market equilibrium.
- The vertical axis represents price, with \( P_0 \) labeled as the equilibrium price.
- The horizontal axis represents quantity, with \( Q_0 \) labeled as the equilibrium quantity.
- The supply curve is labeled as \( S_0 \) and slopes upward.
- The demand curve is labeled as \( D_0 \) and slopes downward.
