A private company offers an online, ad-free video streaming service for a monthly fee. The graph below illustrates the market demand for this service. The company sets a price at P*, which results in Q* subscribers. This pricing strategy creates three distinct areas under the demand curve:
- Area A: The triangle above the price P* and below the demand curve, from a quantity of 0 to Q*.
- Area B: The rectangle with height P* and width Q*.
- Area C: The triangle under the demand curve between quantity Q* and the maximum quantity demanded at a price of zero.
Match each economic concept with the area (or combination of areas) that correctly represents it in this market.

Evaluating a Nation's Environmental Progress
A city government organizes a public laser light show. While anyone can see it, they decide to sell tickets for a special viewing area with synchronized music. The demand for tickets is represented by the following schedule:
- Price $12: 0 tickets sold
- Price $10: 100 tickets sold
- Price $8: 200 tickets sold
- Price $6: 300 tickets sold
- Price $4: 400 tickets sold
- Price $2: 500 tickets sold
- Price $0: 600 tickets sold
If the city sets the ticket price at $6, what is the total social benefit generated from the ticketed viewing area?

When a private company sells a digital news subscription, the total social benefit created from this service is correctly measured by the total revenue the company collects from its subscribers.
A community develops an online platform offering high-quality local history video lectures. Access is granted via a monthly subscription. The demand for subscriptions is shown in the table below:
Price per Month Number of Subscribers $20 0 $16 100 $12 200 $8 300 $4 400 $0 500 If the community sets the subscription price at $8 per month, what is the total social benefit generated per month from this service? Assume the demand curve is linear between the points given.
