'Which of the following is not reason why the market outcomes maximizes total surplus? The market outcome assures that the producers that supply the good are the lowest cost producers At the market outcome every unit that has marginal benefit to consumers that is at least as large as the marginal cost of production produced: The market outcome maximizes the average consumer surplus The market outcome assures that the good is allocated to the consumers with the highest willingness to pay'

The total gains from trade (consumer surplus $+$ producer surplus) is largest at the equilibrium price. What about the consumer surplus and producer surplus separately? (a) Suppose a price is artificially high. Can the consumer surplus at the artificial price be larger than the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price? What about the producer surplus? Sketch possible supply and demand curves to illustrate your answers. (b) Suppose a price is artificially low. Can the consumer surplus at the artificial price be larger than the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price? What about the producer surplus? Sketch possible supply and demand curves to illustrate your answers.
