  26. Consumer surplus for a group of consumers
    The following graph plots the demand curve (blue line) for several consumers in the market for VR headsets in Meade, a small town located in Kansas. The Meade market price of a VR headset is given by the horizontal black line at $240.
    Each rectangle you can place on the following graph corresponds to a particular buyer in this market: orange (square symbols) for Jacques, green (triangle symbols) for Kyoko, purple (diamond symbols) for Musashi, tan (dash symbols) for Rina, and blue (circle symbols) for Sean. Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing consumer surplus for each person who is willing and able to purchase a VR headset at a market price of $240. (Note: If a person will not purchase a VR headset at the market price, indicate this by leaving his or her rectangle in its original position on the palette.)
