Pule purchases four bottles of bathroom cleaner for $3 each. The maximum prices she would have been willing to pay for each bottle are $6 for the first bottle, $5 for the second bottle, $4 for the third bottle, and $3 for the fourth bottle. The marginal cost of producing the bottles is $2.50. What is Pule's consumer surplus on the third bottle of bathroom cleaner?a. $.50 b. $6c. $1d. $0

The correct answer is:

$1 (d)

Explanation:

A consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and what they are able to pay for a particular good or service. It is simply the extra benefit gained by the consumer for paying lesser for a good or service than what they actually intended to pay. Based on this, it is noticed that consumer surplus tends to increase as the market price of goods/services fall, and reduce as their price increases. It is represented mathematically as:

Consumer surplus = (Price willing to pay) - (Actual price paid)

In this example, the consumer surplus is calculated thus:

price willing to pay for third bottle  = $4

Price paid = $3

Consumer surplus = 4 - 3 = $1

answer: b) the us is the leading importer but not the leading exporter.

extra info:

the u.s is the largest importer but it is not the largest exporter as china sits on the top of the table when it comes to leading exporters.

but u.s is not far from first,

they rank in 2nd globally as the worlds largest exporter.
