which statements are true
Harold is willing to pay $25 and Maude is willing to pay $18 for a steak dinner at a fine restaurant. When the price of the steak dinner increases from $15 to $18, Harold experiences a decrease in consumer surplus, but Maude does not.
Assume that at the equilibrium price, consumer surplus is $100 and producer surplus is $60. At equilibrium, total surplus is $40.
Assume there are only three sellers in a particular market. The cost of production for Annie is $50, for Beth it is $40 and for Cathy it is $35. If the price in the market is $45 then Annie will sell the product but Beth and Cathy will not sell.

Suppose that at the equilibrium price of $50, the equilibrium quantity is 400 units and consumer surplus is $8,000. If the equilibrium price falls to $40 and the equilibrium quantity increased to 450…
