Answer - the consumer surplus from last unit is zero
Reason - A rational, optimizing, self interested consumer would consumer up to the point where the consumer surplus from the last unit is zero.
Consumer surplus is the excess of what a consumer is willing to pay over and above the price he is actually paying.
A rational consumer will consume only until the willingness to pay for a good is equal to the actual price of the good, making the consumer surplus to be zero when he would like to consume the last unit.
No rational consumer would like to pay for a thing which has a value lessor than what the is paying.
If the solution helped, please give it a thumbs up. Thank you.

13. In economics, an individual person is assumed to be rational and self-interested seeking to maximize utility in various ways including from the consumption of goods and services. What one does is to achieve a certain goal. So he/she is rational. Why one does is to feel good or happy. So he/she is a self-interested utility seeker. The term 'utility' means satisfaction or happiness. Utility is difficult to quantify. But for purposes of illustration we assume that people can measure...
