What would consumer surplus be?
Once the buyer and seller agree on a price and exchange the product, a total surplus is "realized" as the "gains from trade."
True or false?
Consumer surplus is a measure of the difference between:
a) The price which a consumer has to pay and the cost of producing the good (in a diagram, the area between the market price, and the supply curve).
b) The consumer’s willingness to pay, and the cost of production (the area between the demand curve and the supply curve).
c) The value which a consumer places on a unit of the good, and the market price (the area between the demand curve and the market price line).
d) The marginal revenue from sales and the marginal cost of sales (the area between the marginal revenue and the marginal cost curves).
