This applet visualizes how a producer cartel can increase producer surplus by restricting the quantity it will sell. The consumer surplus is decreased by an even greater amount.
Drap the point on the demand function curve to change the quantity. Where is produicer surplus maximized? How much is the consumer surplus reduced from its value at market equilibrium?
