Answer to Question 1

A subsidy increases the price received by sellers, shifts the supply curve rightward, and places a wedge between the marginal social benefit and marginal social cost of producing the good. The subsidy creates a deadweight loss, a higher equilibrium quantity sold, over-production, and a lower price paid by the consumers. The subsidy increases farm revenues to all farmers.
