    A. A=0 B=1

    b. A=150min B=100

    c. A=120 B=100

    d. A=150x3/2-120=105 B=100x2/2=100

    e. A, because of d.

    Surplus of consumer is the amount that he save because he can purchase a product for a price that is less than he would be willing to pay. For example he is willing to pay almost $3 for the first minute, but he can pay only $1 or zero, so $2 (resp. 3 $) are his surplus from the first minute.

    Graphically, his surplus is a area between his demand (wich is straight) and the line of price (straight parallel to x)

    So in A it is content of triangle [0; 3] [0; 0] [150; 0] (noted as [x; y], x=number of minutes; y price) and you have subtract $120 fix charge

    in B it is content of triangle [0; 3] [0; 1] [100; 1]
