In 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a new farm bill establishing the Margin Protection Program (MPP) for dairy producers. Assume that the program has effectively created a price floor for milk at $0.18 per pound. Use the following additional information to answer the following questions:

• Without the price floor, the equilibrium price of milk is $0.15 per pound, and the equilibrium quantity is 200 billion pounds of milk.
• The supply curve intersects the price axis at $0.05 and the demand curve intersects the price axis at $0.25.
• At the price floor of $0.18, the quantity supplied is 260 billion, and the quantity demanded is 140 billion.
• To support the price floor, the USDA buys up the 120 billion pounds of excess milk.

When the USDA purchases the excess supply, the milk soon spoils and is discarded. As a result, the total surplus is reduced by the amount the USDA spent buying surplus milk. Assume that the taxes used to pay for the USDA purchases are not levied on the market for milk but from other sources.

What is the total surplus when there is a price floor? Do not round your answer.

Total surplus: $
