Answer:

Highest to Lowest Producer surplus :

For Tony = $95 - $45 = $50

For Jennifer = $95 - $87 = $8

For Becky = $95 - $105 = -$10

Explanation:

Producer Surplus : The producer surplus shows a difference between buying price and willingness to sell price

In mathematically,

Producer surplus = Buying price - willingness to sell price

For Tony = $95 - $45 = $50

For Jennifer = $95 - $87 = $8

For Becky = $95 - $105 = -$10

The above categorization of product surplus shows a highest to least product surplus of each student.
