Answer: c). decreases by $1.80

Explanation: Economic surplus is the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus. When the marginal benefit is less than marginal cost, producing one more unit will lower the economic surplus by and amount equal to the difference between marginal benefit and marginal cost.

Economic surplus = Marginal benefit - Marginal cost  = $80.00 - $81.80  = - $1.80

Explanation:

Money has three functions, store of value, unit of account and medium of exchange. Money that can be used as a medium of exchange is money that is accepted as such by both buyers and sellers, and that is comfortable, or convenient enough, to be carried and exchanged

In this example, the nation of Newbie will issue a currency that can be easily transported. While heavy stock cardboard is a little bit heavier than the paper in which most modern-day currencies are printed, the weight is still light, and does not impede easy transportation and exchange of the currency bills.

Besides, the new Newbie Nugget will be what is know was the legal tender of the nation. The legal tender is the currency that a specific country accepts to collect taxes. This gives more legitimacy to Newbie Nugget and makes it a classical example of a medium of exchange.
