Producer surplus is an economic measure of the difference between the amount that a
producer of a good receives and the minimum amount that he or she would be
willing to accept for the good. The difference, or surplus amount, is the
benefit that the producer receives for selling the good in the
market.
The total producer surplus will be 50*(24 - 18) = 300
