Study Notes
Consumer Surplus
- The best price is the one where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded, maximizing combined buyer and seller welfare
- Consumer surplus is the maximum price a buyer is willing to pay minus the actual price
- Consumer surplus = Value to buyers - Amount paid by buyers
- If the price a consumer pays is equal to their willingness to pay, consumer surplus is zero
Producer Surplus
- Producer surplus is the difference between the price a seller receives for a good and the minimum price they're willing to accept
- Producer surplus is calculated as the price minus the minimum price a seller would accept
Welfare Economics
- Equilibrium price is the best price as it maximizes buyer and seller welfare
