Question
You inherit your grandmother's antique rocking chair and would like to sell it to an antique dealer. You are willing to sell the rocking chair for as little as 500. What is your producer surplus?
Solution
Producer surplus is calculated as the difference between the amount the producer is willing to sell a product for and the actual amount received from the sale.
Here's how you calculate it:
-
Identify the minimum selling price: In this case, you are willing to sell the rocking chair for as little as 150.
-
Identify the actual selling price: The antique dealer offers you 500.
-
Subtract the minimum selling price from the actual selling price to find the producer surplus: 150 = $350.
So, your producer surplus is $350.
