The generator is a popular youth hostel in london located near kings cross. The hostel provides a bed, showers, and breakfast in their nightly fee. Suppose the quantity demanded is 0 when the price is $90 per night and 90 when the price is $10 per night. Quantity supplied is 0 when the price is $10 and 100 when the price is $80.

Answer 1

The answer is $2000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surplus = Consumer surplus + Producer surplus

= [ 0.5 (50-0) x ( 90 -45)] + [ 0.5(50-0) x (45 - 10)]

= [ 0.5 x 50 x 45] + [ 0.5 x 50 x 35]

= 1125 + 875

Total Surplus = $2000.
