Would the change in consumer surplus be 190?
 
Area of rectangle = €1x 180m=180
Area of triangle = €1 x 20m (1/2) =10
 
Change in consumer surplus = area of rectangle + area of triangle
 
Am I doing it right?


how do they know how much it will reduce the demand by. What metric are they using to calculate the amount consumed on a hypothetical situation Wink
