Supplier surplus refers to the difference between the amount a supplier is willing to accept for a good or service and the actual price they receive in the market. It reflects the benefits suppliers gain from selling at a higher market price than their minimum acceptable price. This concept is similar to consumer surplus, but it focuses on suppliers' economic gains. Supplier surplus can be seen as a measure of producer welfare in economic analyses.
A price floor, while benefiting producers by guaranteeing a minimum price for their goods, can lead to excess supply and market inefficiencies. When prices are artificially elevated, consumer demand may decrease, resulting in a surplus of goods that are not sold. This misallocation of resources reduces the overall social surplus, as the total welfare (the sum of consumer and producer surplus) is diminished due to lost transactions that would have occurred at equilibrium prices. Consequently, the gains to producers are outweighed by the losses to consumers and the inefficiencies introduced in the market.

Any animal that gains energy through the consumption of other organisms is a consumer. Some examples are wilderbeasts, cats, spider-monkeys, alligators, and pumas.
Currently many people thinks that american airlines will end up in bankruptcy. But American airlines stock gains after filing bankruptcy.
A consumer as it uses other living things for food. A producer creates its own sustenance eg plants, algae A decomposer gains sustenance from dead animal/plant matter eg some bacteria
Gains from exchange pertains to the benefits received from the trade with other parties. Gain from specialization are those unconditional benefits acquired within the general spectrum of business and consumer relationships.
The deadweight loss in a monopoly graph represents the loss of economic efficiency that occurs when a monopoly restricts output and raises prices above the competitive level. This results in a reduction in consumer surplus and producer surplus, leading to a net loss of societal welfare. The deadweight loss indicates that resources are not being allocated efficiently in the market, as some potential gains from trade are not realized. Overall, the presence of deadweight loss in a monopoly reduces market efficiency by distorting prices and quantities away from the socially optimal level.
Yes, moldy bread can be considered a consumer as it decomposes the organic matter and gains energy from it, similar to how other consumers consume food for energy. Mold breaks down the bread through decomposition, releasing nutrients that can be used by other organisms in the ecosystem.
Deadweight loss occurs when market inefficiencies prevent the optimal allocation of resources, typically due to factors like taxes, subsidies, price controls, or monopolies. These distortions lead to a reduction in the quantity of goods traded, causing a loss of consumer and producer surplus that is not offset by gains elsewhere. As a result, the total welfare in the economy decreases, reflecting the lost potential benefits from transactions that no longer take place.
Monopoly deadweight loss reduces market efficiency by causing a loss of potential gains from trade. This results in higher prices and lower quantities of goods being produced, leading to a decrease in consumer welfare.
A producer (also known as an autotroph) is an organism that is able to make complex chemical compounds (i.e, food) from sources of energy in the form of light or heat. Plants, which use sunlight, or tube worms, which use heat from deep sea vents, are examples of producers. A first level consumer (also called primary consumers) gain their energy from eating producers. This category includes herbivores such as deer, elephants, horses, etc. A second level consumer (also called a secondary consumer) gains it's energy through predation, or the catching and eating of other animals. Praying Mantids fall in this category. Mantids eat mainly insects, although they have been known to eat small amphibians, reptiles, and even the occasional hummingbird. A decomposer is an organism that gains it's energy from dead or rotting material. Since Praying Mantids eat primarily live prey and not pre-dead carcasses, they are not considered decomposers.
