Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

If the penalty is levied on the seller, the penalty is added to the minimum price required for supplying the good or service. The demand curve remains unchanged but the supply curve shifts leftward, so that the vertical distance between the initial supply curve and the supply curve with the penalty equals the dollar value of the penalty. In this case, the equilibrium price of the good rises and the equilibrium quantity decreases.
