Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total investment between Rivendell and the Shire is 800 silver coins (500 from Rivendell + 300 from the Shire). Since the Shire is investing less than Rivendell, they are running a surplus. The surplus is equal to the difference between the investment from Rivendell and the investment from the Shire, which is 200 silver coins (500 - 300). Therefore, the answer is A) surplus of 200 silver coins.
