Suppose you enjoy watching television on PBS, a broadcast station which you can receive on your TV with your antenna. In fact, your willingness-to-pay for a year’s worth of programming on PBS is $80. PBS is currently in a fundraising campaign to get those who watch the station to contribute to help fund next year’s programming. They are asking for a $50 contribution. If you want to maximize your consumer surplus, do you make the contribution or not?
a. Make contribution
b. Do not make contribution
