Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
At a price of $15, the firm is willing to produce five reports because this price meets or exceeds the minimum price they're willing to accept for any quantity up to five. The producer surplus is the difference between what the firm is actually paid and the minimum they're willing to accept. For each report, this surplus adds up to $33, considering the difference between the $15 price and the lower prices they were willing to accept for each of the five reports.
