    Person B must be willing to pay $120

    Explanation:

    Marginal cost = $200

    Person A is willing to pay = $80

    Marginal cost is the cost which a company incurred for producing one extra unit of goods.

    If person A has paid $80, then person B must pay an amount that will cover up for the marginal cost the company incurred.

    That mean person B will pay $120,

    Meaning; $80 + $120 = $200
