Individual and market demand Suppose that Sam and Teresa are the only consumers of pizza slices in a particular market. The following table shows their weekly demand schedules: On the following graph, plot Sam's demand for pizza slices using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Teresa's demand for pizza slices using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for pizza slices using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right.

The market for pizza is characterized by the following demand and supply curves. Use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the competitive market equilibrium. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area that represents consumer surplus in this market. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area that represents producer surplus. Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the deadweight loss in this market. (Hint: If the value for any of these graphical objects is zero, leave that element on the palette.)
