Consider the market for Blackberry cell phones. Assume the market is perfectly competitive and at a market-clearing equilibrium. What area represents consumer surplus? 1.) Use the triangle drawing tool to shade in consumer surplus. Label this area 'Consumer Surplus'. What area represents producer surplus? 2.) Use the triangle drawing tool to shade in producer surplus. Label this area 'Producer Surplus'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

Assume the market for headbands is characterized by a downward sloping demand curve and an upward sloping supply curve. Suppose there is an improvement in technology for producing headbands. Which of the following would occur? A C E The total surplus (sum of producer and consumer surplus) would increase B The change in equilibrium price would cause total producer surplus to increase D The impact on total consumer surplus would be indeterminate, because of the offsetting impact of the changes in equilibrium price and quantity The supply curve would shift up, resulting in an increase in the equilibrium quantity and total producer surplus The demand curve would shift right in response to an increase in equilibrium price https://bcps.schoology.com/common-assessment-print/course/6305214264/6083116066?multipleQuestions=1&includeAnswerkey=1&includeBlank 10/33
