Answer:

profit + consumer surplus.

Explanation:

The profit obtained by the reseller is given by the difference between the amount received on sale ($75) and the purchase price ($40). The consumer surplus is determined as the difference between the willingness to pay ($90) and the actual amount paid ($75). Therefore, the difference between $90 and $40 is the profit plus the consumer surplus.
