1. Consumer and Producer Surplus Lesson 3.49

2. Consumer Surplus and the Demand Curve Willingness to Pay – The demand curve is based on the individual choices of the people that make it up, and each individual is willing to pay a different price. – While Consumer A might be willing to pay $500 for a new television, Consumer B might only pay $300. – If the Television costs $250, both will buy the television, but each will have a different level of benefit, called surplus. B would have a surplus of $50, while A would have a surplus of $250.
