a. Indicate the consumer surplus if the market is in equilibrium. Instructions: Use the tool provided "CS" to shade in the consumer surplus area on the graph. b. Indicate the producer surplus if the market is in equilibrium. Instructions: Use the tool provided "PS" to shade in the producer surplus area on the graph. Refer to the figure below depicting a $10 price floor on the market for wheat. Use this graph for part c through e. Market for Wheat Price (dollars) 13 12 11 Price Floor 10
a. In the graph below, identify the areas of consumer surplus and producer surplus. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'PS' to identify the area of producer surplus. This will drop a small triangle with 3 endpoints onto the graph. Drag the endpoints to the appropriate positions to identify the area of producer surplus. Then, use the tool provided 'CS' and follow the same process for consumer surplus.
