Respuesta :

Answer:

Total Producer surplus  = 29

Explanation:

given data

sell jacket = $45

sell jacket = $40

current market price = $57

to find out

total producer surplus for the two firms

solution

we know producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good the producer is willing to accept for a product versus actual market price

so

Total Producer surplus =  ( $57 - $45 ) + ( $57 - $40)

Total Producer surplus  = 12+17

Total Producer surplus  = 29
