Answer 1

The answer is: There was no consumer surplus in this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

consumer surplus refers to the difference between the maximum amount a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service.

In this case there was no consumer surplus, since Stacey was willing to pay only $2 for a bottle of mineral water and its price was $2.25, so she didn't buy it.
