Relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded by one person. Relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded by all buyers in the market. If person a demands 10 shirts at . 00, and person b demands 15 shirts at . 00, the market demand curve will show a demand of 25 shirts at . 00. The excess of the benefit received from a good over the amount paid for it consumer surplus = marginal. Marginal benefit: maximum price that a person is willing to pay. Marginal cost: minimum price that a firm is willing to accept. The excess of the amount received from the sale of a good over the cost of producing the good producer. Surplus = price received for good minimum-supply price. Less than equilibrium quantity, marginal social benefit > marginal social cost. Greater than equilibrium quantity, marginal social benefit < marginal social cost.
