Match each behavioral economics concept with the scenario that best illustrates it.
A small bakery operates in a competitive market and sells each loaf of bread at the market price of €2.35. The bakery's cost to produce each of the first 120 loaves is a constant €1.50 per loaf. Given this market price, the bakery chooses to produce and sell exactly 120 loaves. What is the bakery's total producer surplus from selling these 120 loaves?
Describing Producer Surplus Graphically
A bakery produces 120 loaves of bread at a constant marginal cost of €1.50 per loaf and sells them at the market price of €2.35. True or False: The producer surplus gained from selling the 100th loaf is greater than the producer surplus gained from selling the 20th loaf.

Analyzing the Impact of Price Changes on Producer Surplus
A small, price-taking firm produces a good with a constant marginal cost for every unit up to its production capacity. In a standard price-quantity diagram, where the market price is above this marginal cost, why is the firm's total producer surplus represented by a rectangular area?
A price-taking bakery sells loaves of bread at the market price of €2.70 per loaf. The bakery's cost to produce each of the first 120 loaves is €1.50. For any additional loaves produced beyond 120, the cost increases to €2.60 per loaf. If the bakery produces and sells 180 loaves, what is its total producer surplus?
A price-taking bakery sells loaves at a market price of €2.35. It can produce up to 120 loaves at a cost of €1.50 per loaf. To produce any additional loaves, the cost rises to €2.60 per loaf due to overtime pay. The bakery is currently producing 120 loaves. A local cafe offers to buy an additional 30 loaves for a special price of €2.50 each. Based on an analysis of producer surplus, should the bakery accept this special offer?
