At the student center cafeteria, a half-pound burrito costs about $7. What is your willingness to pay for a half-pound burrito at the Student Center, and what does that say about your consumer surplus the benefit that the Student Center cafeteria marketplace may provide to you?
Homework Answers
Cost of half pound burrito = $7
Willingness to pay can be calculated by the utility achieved from consuming burrito. If utility is more than or equal to price paid for burrito, then you would be willing to consume it. Consumer surplus occurs when the price they are willing to pay for burrito is more than they actually pay.
Let say if the utility from consuming burrito is worth $5. You would not be willing to pay more than it. If you are able to get it at $4, the consumer surplus is $1 or if the utility is worth $9 and you are able to get it for $7, your consumer surplus is $2.

What does this imply about the cost-benefit analysis of environmental regulations? There is an old saying "You cant put a price on human...

1. Suppose that Adam's willingness To Pay (WTP) for a shirt of a particular brand is equal to 525. The market price of the brand is initially = $35 (thus, Adam's "consumer's surplus" SO, since he won't buy the shirt at that price). But then the brand becomes less popular (although Adam's WTP still equals 5 25; note that the Demand Curve will shift to the left when the brand becomes less popular). a.) Use a relevant graph to show...
