Answer to Question 2

Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing and able to pay and what a consumer actually has to pay for a good or service. On the other hand, producer surplus is the difference between the price at which a supplier is willing and able to supply and the price a supplier actually receives for selling a good or service.
