Answer #1

Answer : Example of consumer surplus : On last Saturday I bought one dress whose printed price is $800.  And I was ready to purchase that dress at $800. But the seller told me that the dress has 20% discount. So, finally I purchased the dress at $640. This means that I saved (800 - 640) = $160. This $160 is the consumer surplus. Thus, I experienced the consumer surplus of $160.

Example of producer surplus : I have a biscuit firm. One month ago the initial market price was $30 per pack of biscuit. But due to high demand suddenly the market price became $40 per pack of biscuit. As a result, my firm earns extra profit of $10 per pack of biscuit. This means that the producer surplus increases by $10 per pack of biscuit. Thus, I experienced the producer surplus.
