Use a supply and demand diagram to show how that response will change the combined amount of consumer surplus and producer surplus in the market for cashews.
Instructions: Given the initial equilibrium price P1 and quantity Q1, (1) use the shader tool provided 'Initial' to identify the initial surplus. This will place a triangle on the graph. Click and drag the endpoints of the triangle to show consumer surplus and producer surplus at the original price and quantity. (2) Click and drag the supply curve to show how the market reacts to the P > MC condition. (3) Click and drag the initial equilibrium point to the new equilibrium point. (4) Use the shader tool provided 'Final' to identify the resulting consumer surplus and producer surplus
