Economics Concepts: Demand, Surplus, Taxes, and Market Efficiency
Economics Concepts Explained
Demand and Elasticity
- Vertical Demand Curve: Price elasticity of demand equals zero.
- Perfectly Elastic Supply Curve: Horizontal.
Consumer and Producer Surplus
- Consumer Surplus: The difference between willingness to pay and the actual amount paid.

- Example 2: Jung is willing to pay $85, Eddi $65; jacket costs $70. Total consumer surplus: $20 ($85-$70 + $65-$
