Draw a standard demand-supply diagram. Make sure that both the demand and the supply curve touch the y-axis (price). Identify the point of market equilibrium. The seller’s surplus can be defined as the amount by which the market price exceeds the minimum price the seller seeks for supplying a given quantity (the seller’s “reservation price”). On the diagram identify the appropriate triangle whose area represents the seller’s surplus. Indicate the market price and the seller’s reservation price and explain how the difference between the two constitutes the seller’s surplus.
