Solution

To determine the correct producer surplus given the price of the good at $14, we would typically refer to the graphical information contained in Figure 7-3, which outlines the market for the good. However, since I do not have access to the figure, I'll describe the general steps to calculate producer surplus based on price and supply curves.

Break Down the Problem

  1. Identify the area above the supply curve and below the price level of $14.
  2. Calculate the producer surplus based on this area.

Relevant Concepts

  1. Producer Surplus is defined as the difference between what producers are willing to accept for a good or service (represented by the supply curve) and what they actually receive (the market price).

Analysis and Detail

  1. In a typical scenario, if we had the supply curve information (intercepts or equations), we could calculate the area of the triangle or rectangle that represents the producer surplus.
    • Producer Surplus = Area of the triangle \text{Area of the triangle} + Area of the rectangle \text{Area of the rectangle} .
    • For a triangle, use: Area=12×base×height \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
    • For a rectangle, use: Area=base×height \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}

Verify and Summarize

  1. Once calculations are performed, compare the computed producer surplus with the given multiple-choice answers: 19.50,19.50, 25.00, 20.50,and20.50, and 22.50.

Final Answer

Without the actual figure or specific values for the supply curve, I cannot provide the exact numerical answer. Please refer to Figure 7-3 to determine the areas corresponding to the price of $14 and compare it against the options provided.
