A graph of price versus quantity shows two parallel demand curves and two parallel supply curves. From left to right they are D and D prime, and S prime and S. Curve S is a straight line ascending from the origin through points (50,100) and (75,150). Curve S prime is a straight line ascending from (0,100) through points (25,150), and (50,200). Curve D is a straight line descending from (0,200), to (100,0). Curve D prime is a straight line descending from (0,300) to (150,0). Curve D prime intersects Curve S prime at point. (50,200). Curve D prime intersects Curve S at point (75,150). Curve S intersects Curve D at point (50,100). Curve D intersects Curve S prime at point (25,150).
Refer to Figure 7-5. If the supply curve is S and the demand curve shifts from D to D', what is the change in producer surplus?
Producer surplus increases by $3,125
Producer surplus increases by $5,625
Producer surplus decreases by $3,125
Producer surplus decreases by $5,625
