Answer to Question 1

Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay for a product and what she actually pays for the product. Since consumer surplus measures the benefit that consumers receive from a good as they themselves perceive it, it serves as a good measure of economic well-being. Thus, if policy makers care about consumer preferences, they could use this measure to make normative judgments about market outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
