Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the key concept being asked: the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and what they actually pay.
Recall that 'price elasticity' measures responsiveness of quantity demanded to price changes, so it does not describe this difference.
Understand that 'market power' refers to a firm's ability to influence prices, which is unrelated to consumer payment differences.
Recognize that 'producer surplus' is the difference between the price producers receive and their minimum acceptable price, so it applies to producers, not consumers.
Conclude that 'consumer surplus' is the term that describes the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay and the actual price paid.
