Suppose Island Bikes, a profit-maximizing firm, is the only bike rental company in a small resort town. The marginal cost to Island Bikes of renting out a bike is $3, and Island Bikes has no fixed costs. Each day Island Bikes has six potential customers, whose reservations prices are listed in the table. \[\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \text { Custamer } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Reservetion Price } \\ \text { (\$ /Rental) } \end{array} \\ \hline \mathrm { A } & 22 \\ \hline \mathrm { B } & 16 \\ \hline \mathrm { C } & 12 \\ \hline \mathrm { D } & \mathrm { 8 } \\ \hline \mathrm { E } & 6 \\ \hline \mathrm { F } & 4 \\ \hline \end{array}\] Suppose Island Bikes knows that customers whose reservation prices are at least $10 always rent bikes before noon, while those whose reservation prices are below $10 never do so. If Island Bikes charges a different price in the morning and in the afternoon, then what will be the total economic surplus?
