Figure 7-34 -Refer to Figure 7-34. Suppose there is initially a price floor set at $10 in this market. If the government removed the price floor, by how much would total consumer surplus increase?

Caroline sharpens knives in her spare time for extra income. Buyers of her service are willing to pay $2.95 per knife for as many knives as Caroline is willing to sharpen. On a particular day, she is willing to sharpen the first knife for $2.00, the second knife for $2.25, the third knife for $2.75, and the fourth knife for $3.50. Assume Caroline is rational in deciding how many knives to sharpen. Her producer surplus is

Table 7-5 For each of three potential buyers of oranges, the table displays the willingness to pay for the first three oranges of the day. Assume Allison, Bob, and Charisse are the only three buyers of oranges, and only three oranges can be supplied per day. -Refer to Table 7-5. If the market price of an orange increases from $0.70 to $1.40, then consumer surplus
