The Fair Credit Reporting Act is just one of many sources of consumer rights, and it primarily focuses on the credit reporting agencies, Trans Union, Equifax and Experion. Generally, the Act requires that the reporting agencies maintain accurate information and provide certain methods of communicating with them. It also gives consumers a right, after challenging information, to sue the information providers for false reports. So it gives you a chance to sue a debt collector, for example, that is providing false information to the credit reporting agencies and damaging your credit report.

False. It depends on the price consumers are willing to pay for the producer's Christmas tree. For example, if the producer is willing to sell his tree at $3 but the market price is $5, then the surplus for the producer is $2. Say, a consumer is willing to buy the tree at $15, then the consumer surplus us $10. Remember that the consumer surplus is the are under the demand curve and above the horizontal line passing through the equilibrium price. As long as this area exists, then it is possible for consumers to enjoy a consumer surplus.

True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.
