Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Harry's willingness to pay as much as $35,000 for the car indicates that he values the car at that price. However, he only had to pay $25,000 for it, which means he obtained a consumer surplus of $10,000 ($35,000 - $25,000). This is the difference between what Harry was willing to pay and what he actually paid. Therefore, choice C is the best option.
