Example of Voluntary Exchange Ex: You want to buy a truck so you go to the local dealership. You are willing to spend up to $20, 000 for a new 4 x 4. The seller is willing to sell this truck for no less than $15, 000. After some negotiation you buy the truck for $18, 000. Analysis: Buyer’ Maximum- $20, 000 Sellers Minimum- $15, 000 Price- $18, 000 Consumer’s Surplus-$2, 000 Producer’s Surplus- $3, 000 15

Voluntary Exchange Terms Consumer Surplus is the difference between what you are willing to pay and what you actually pay. CS = Buyer’s Maximum – Price Producer’s Surplus is the difference between the price the seller received and how much they were willing to sell it for. PS = Price – Seller’s Minimum 16
