Melissa buys an iPod for 100 and gets consumer surplus of 80 what is her willingness to pay?

Melissa buys an iPod for 120 and gets a Consumer Surplus of 80 If she had bought the iPod on sale for 90 what would her consumer surplus have been?

Consumer surplus is the difference between what a buyer is willing to pay and what they actually pay. Since Melissa originally bought the iPod for 120 and had a consumer surplus of 80, it means she was willing to pay 200. If she bought the iPod on sale for 90, her consumer surplus would be 200 - 90 = 110. Therefore, her consumer surplus would have been 110 if she had bought the iPod on sale.


What are some consumer surplus example problems that demonstrate the concept's application in real-world scenarios?

Consumer surplus is the difference between what consumers are willing to pay for a good or service and what they actually pay. One example problem could be a scenario where a consumer is willing to pay 50 for a concert ticket, but they only have to pay 30. Another example could be a sale at a store where a consumer buys a shirt for 20 that they would have been willing to pay 40 for. These examples show how consumer surplus can be applied in real-world situations to measure the benefit consumers receive from paying less than their maximum willingness to pay.

What is the term for when a country sells more than it buys?
