    a. $300

    b. $100

    c. $400

    Explanation:

    The computation of the producer and consumer surplus is shown below:

    a. Producer surplus = Market price or agreed price - Actual amount to sell the goods

    = $700 - $400

    = $300

    b. And, the consumer surplus = Willing to pay - Market price or agreed price

    = $800 - $700

    = $100

    c. The combined consumer and the producer surplus is

    = $300 + $100

    = $400
