Solution

The answer is c. consumer surplus decreases from 31to31 to 6.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and what they actually pay.

  2. Initially, when the ticket price is 10,Anya,Basil,Celeste,andDralonarewillingtobuytheticketsbecausethepriceislessthantheirmaximumwillingnesstopay.Thetotalconsumersurplusisthesumofindividualsurpluses:(10, Anya, Basil, Celeste, and Dralon are willing to buy the tickets because the price is less than their maximum willingness to pay. The total consumer surplus is the sum of individual surpluses: (24-10)+(10) + (20-10)+(10) + (15-10)+(10) + (12-10)=10) = 14 + 10+10 + 5 + 2=2 = 31.

  3. When the ticket price rises to 19,onlyAnyaandBasilarewillingtobuytheticketsbecausethepriceislessthantheirmaximumwillingnesstopay.Thenewtotalconsumersurplusis:(19, only Anya and Basil are willing to buy the tickets because the price is less than their maximum willingness to pay. The new total consumer surplus is: (24-19)+(19) + (20-19)=19) = 5 + 1=1 = 6.

  4. Therefore, the consumer surplus decreases from 31to31 to 6.
