lemons and a decline in consumer surplus from A + B + C to just A. So consumer surplus declines by the amount B + C. Figure 5 In the market for lemonade‚ the higher cost of lemons reduces the supply of lemonade‚ as shown in Figure 6. The result is a rise in the price of lemonade and a decline in consumer surplus from D + E + F to just D‚ a loss of E + F. Note that an event that affects consumer surplus in one market often has effects on consumer surplus in other markets. Figure 6

As shown in the diagram‚ P1 is the highest price consumers are willing to pay for a good. Pe is the equilibrium price determined by the market.

it increases social welfare. Uncertain. A Subsidy is like an inverse tax. Consumers and producers benefit. The demand curve shifts down shifting the equilibrium‚ lower price for consumers and greater quantity sold for producers.
