Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

False. One impact of a supply restriction is an exchange from consumers to producers. The net effect on social welfare is zero. Additionally, there is a deadweight loss. This is the additional surplus that could be generated if supply were not restricted. This effect is always negative. As a result, social welfare always declines in response to a supply restriction.
