    Muddy's bakery producer surplus = ($2.50 - $1.65) = $0.85

    Lily's sweet shop producer surplus = ($2.50 - $1.75) = $0.75

    Total producer surplus of the two firms = ($0.85 - $0.75) = $1.60

    Explanation:

    Producer surplus is the difference between the amounts the producer is willing to sell the goods for and the actual amount he/she receives when the trade is made.
