A) $4
B) $7
C) $9
D) $19

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) $7

Explanation:

The computation of the consumer surplus is shown below:

Consumer surplus = Willing to pay - Market price

For Austin, The consumer surplus = $10 - $6 = $4

For Erin, The consumer surplus = $9 - $6 = $3

So, the total consumer surplus = $4 + $3 = $7

Simply we deduct the market price from the willing to pay so that the consumer surplus can be computed
