Perfect competition and equilibrium.

Put the demand and supply curves together (at the original productivity and wages). Taylor assumes that she is in a perfectly competitive market. How many slices will she sell? At what price?

Draw the graph again and shade in the entire area of consumer surplus. Shade in the entire area of producer surplus.

Calculate consumer surplus as the sum of the difference between the marginal utility and the price for each slice up to the last slice sold. Calculate producer surplus as the sum of the difference between price and marginal cost for each slice.

Consider monopolist facing two customer groups : Consider a monopolist facing two customer groups. The first has demand p1 = 10 - q/2 and the second has demand p2 = 20 - q.
