Solution

The answer is C. $1800.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and what they actually pay.

In this case, Amy's consumer surplus is 300,andsheactuallypaid300, and she actually paid 1500 for the dog.

So, to find out how much she was willing to pay, you add the price she paid (1500)totheconsumersurplus(1500) to the consumer surplus (300).

1500+1500 + 300 = $1800.

So, Amy was willing to pay $1800 for the dog.
