The following graph shows Hilary's weekly demand for cheesecake, represented by the blue line. Point A represents a point along her weekly demand curve. The market price of cheesecake is $3.00 per slice, as shown by the horizontal black line
From the previous graph, you can tell that Hilary is willing to pay $_______ for her 8th slice of cheesecake each week. Because she has to pay only$3.00 per slice, the consumer surplus she gains from the 8th slice of cheesecake is $_______. Suppose the price of cheesecake were to fall to $2.25 per slice. At this lower price, Hilary would receive a consumer surplus of $_______.from the 8th slice of cheesecake she buys.The following graph shows the weekly market demand for cheesecake in a small economy.
Use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus when the price (P) of cheesecake is $3.00 per slice. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing additional consumer surplus when the…
