A custom bicycle shop determines its profit-maximizing output is 50 bikes per month. The marginal cost to produce a 51st bike is $1,200. A new customer, who was not willing to buy at the standard price, offers to pay $1,750 for this 51st bike in a separate, one-off transaction. If the shop accepts this offer, its additional profit from this single transaction will be $____.

Evaluating a Pharmaceutical Pricing Strategy
A company currently produces and sells 50 custom-built computers at a set price. The cost to produce a 51st computer would be $1,800. A new customer, who was not willing to buy at the original price, offers to pay $2,200 for this 51st computer. If the company agrees to this separate transaction, why is it considered a Pareto improvement?
Analyzing a Mutually Beneficial Transaction
A concert venue sells all 5,000 seats for a flat price of $100 each. The marginal cost of admitting one more person into a standing-room-only section is $10. After the show sells out, a fan offers to pay $50 for a standing-room-only ticket. Selling this additional ticket represents a Pareto improvement.
A software company sells 100 licenses for a specialized program at a set price. The marginal cost to provide one more license (the 101st) is $500. A new client, who was unwilling to pay the original price, offers to buy this 101st license for $800 in a separate deal. Match each party involved in this potential transaction to the outcome they would experience if the sale proceeds.
Analyzing Gains from an Additional Transaction
A bakery determines its profit-maximizing output is 100 specialty cakes per week, which it sells at a set price. The marginal cost to produce a 101st cake would be $30. A new customer, who was not willing to buy at the original price, offers to pay for this 101st cake in a separate transaction. Which of the following scenarios describes a Pareto improvement?
