Math Problem Statement
The government, through its Department of Trade, is analyzing the market for a new product. The demand and supply curves for the product are linear. At a price of $71 per unit, the quantity demanded is 542 units, and the quantity supplied is 360 units. At a price of $92 per unit, the quantity demanded is 458 units, and the quantity supplied is 486 units. Given this information, calculate the consumer surplus (in $) at a market price of $60 per unit. Note: Round your answer to 2-decimal places.
