Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A reservation value is the price at which a trading partner is indifferent between making the trade and not doing so. For a buyer, this is the highest price he is willing to pay for a good or service. For a seller, it is the lowest price he is willing to accept for a good or service.
Consumer surplus = 10 - 5 = 5
Producer surplus = 5 - 3 = 2
