Impact on Consumers Priced Out by a Demand-Driven Price Increase
When an increase in demand pushes the market equilibrium from point A (price $8) to point C (price $10), some consumers are negatively affected. Specifically, individuals whose willingness to pay (WTP) for a hat is greater than $8 but less than the new price of $10 are priced out of the market. Although the total number of hats sold increases, this particular group of potential buyers can no longer afford to purchase one.
