Producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price producers are willing to accept for a product and the higher equilibrium price.
Jennifer S.
1) A mutually beneficial voluntary trade will result in consumer surplus, producer surplus, gains from trade, all of the above. 2) Consumer surplus is the total amount a consumer actually spends on a good, the highest amount a consumer is willing to pay for a good, the difference between the demand curve and the supply curve, money that a consumer would have been willing to spend, but keeps even after buying the good, money that the consumer purposefully saves to spend another day. 3) The supply curve for a perfectly competitive firm is the upward sloping portion of the firm's MC curve, the portion of the firm's MC curve that is above the shutdown price, the upward sloping portion of the firm's ATC curve, the firm's total revenue function. 4) A price taker is a firm that searches for the best price and then takes the highest profits possible, buys raw materials for other firms, seeks to maximize revenue rather than profit, cannot influence the price of the good they sell. 5) A perfectly competitive firm will break even if P > minimum ATC, P = minimum ATC, P > minimum AVC and P < minimum ATC, P < minimum AVC.
