2. Working with Numbers and Graphs Q2 The following graph shows a demand curve (in blue) and a supply curve (in orange). Suppose a price ceiling of $6 per unit is imposed. Use the green points (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing producers' surplus after the price ceiling. Then use the purple points (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing consumers' surplus after the price ceiling.

The following graph shows a demand curve in blue, a supply curve in orange, and the point black plus representing equilibrium. Use the green points (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus at equilibrium. Use the purple points (diamond symbols) to shade the area corresponding to producer surplus at equilibrium. Consumers' Surplus PRICE QUANTITY (Units)

First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of mountain bikes in the absence of a tax. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus (CS) at the equilibrium price. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing total producer surplus (PS) at the equilibrium price.
