Answer is A
Explanation: Consumer surplus actually happens when a customer is willing and ready to pay for a particular product than its current market price. It is a measure of the additional benefits a consumer gets after paying for a product even though they are willing to pay more.
For example: Let's assume you want to get a IPhone 8 plus and you value it at $800 dollars, which you are ready to pay, but realise it is sold at $700. When you buy it at $700, the customer surplus is $100, that is a difference between how much you were willing to pay and the price you eventually got it.
Consumer Surplus changes as the equilibrium price of a good rises or falls. If the price of a good rises, the consumer surplus decreases but when the price of the good falls, the consumer surplus increases.
Answer: b. The company will be flooded with applications from individuals who are barely qualified.
Explanation:
By putting job advertisements on popular websites which are full of people looking for jobs, the company will attract people who are underqualified but apply anyway on the off chance that they are called for an interview. The company will incur costs sifting through the applications to find suitable candidates.
This will be a waste of the company's resources as those resources could have been directed at getting prospective employees that would be a better fit with the company and have the relevant qualifications. This could have been done by going to a recruiting agency for instance.

Answer:
consumer surplus will decrease.
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is defined as the difference between the price customers are willing to pay for a product and what they actually pay.
On the demand and supply curve it is indicated by the shaded area between equillibrum and demand curve as illustrated in the attached diagram.
For example let's assume the price a customer was willing to pay for a product was $50 and market price was $30
Initial consumer surplus= 50- 30= $20
Assume bmarket price increase to $40
The new consumer surplus is= 50- 40
Present consumer surplus= $10
So a price increase causes a decrease in the consumer surplus.
EPS is Net Income attributed to shareholders divided by no. of shares outstanding. The dividend on preferred stock is subtracted from net income before calculating earnings per share (EPS). Following is the formula for Earnings per share
EPS = (Net Income – Preferred Dividend)/ No. of common stocks outstanding
= ($611,000 - $84,000)/ 303,000
= $1.74
Therefore, earnings per share would be $1.74.
