Be sure to sort by the size of producer surplus, placing the seller with the largest producer surplus the furthest to the left. If a seller does not have a producer surplus at all, leave their shaded bar where it is.

Explanation / Answer

Market price of bicycle: $250

Joey

Selling price: $100

Producer surplus = Market price – producer price = $250-$100 = $150

David

Selling price: $150

Producer surplus = Market price – producer price = $250-$150 = $100

Tracy

Selling price: $200

Producer surplus = Market price – producer price = $250-$200 = $50

Surly

Selling price: $350

Producer surplus = Market price – producer price = $250-$350 = -$100
