Question

I paid $40 a ticket for 4 (non-refundable) tickets to a show that I can't use and can't resell so I'm going to give to my friends. I have two friends whose MWTP for the tickets are in the table below. I want to be fair to my friends so I give them two tickets each. How much more surplus could I have created if I allocated them efficiently? Do not include the $ sign and remember to include a negative sign if you want to say that surplus has decreased.
