Alex owns a restaurant where he sells pizza. The following graph shows Alex's weekly supply curve, represented by the orange line. Point A represents a point along his supply curve. The price of pizza is $3.00 per slice, as shown by the horizontal black line. From the previous graph, you can tell that Alex is willing to supply his 8th slice of pizza for____each week. Since he receives $3.00 per slice, the producer surplus he gains from supplying the 8th slice of pizza is___. Suppose the price of pizza were to rise to $3.75 per slice. At this higher price, Alex would receive a producer surplus of____from the 8th slice of pizza he sells. The following graph shows the weekly market supply of pizza in a small economy. Use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS) when the price (P) of pizza is $3.00 per slice. Then, use the…arrow_forward
