    Producer surplus is the differential amount between the minimum amount they are willing to accept and the actual amount they actually received.

    thus,

    Producer surplus = the area triangle when prices are graphed with respect to time.

    Using the formula for the area of right triangles

    Producer surplus = 1/2 (4) (40)

    Producer surplus = $80/hr
