Answer to Question 1

a. The price will be 90 per month and the quantity will be 20,000 households.
b. The price will be 30 per month and the quantity will be 40,000 households.
c. This rule results in the efficient level of production.
d. The price will be 60 per month and the quantity will be 30,000 households.
e. This rule results in the firm making a normal profit.

Answer to Question 2

Car insurance companies often do not pay the full cost of repair when the policy buyers have accidents. Such practices help in reducing the problem of moral hazard that may otherwise arise. If the insurers pay the full amount required for repair, drivers are more likely to drive recklessly and have accidents because they do not have to pay for the damage.
