Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The producer wants to set the lump sum price equal to the competitive level of consumer surplus. This maximizes the producer surplus. The consumer surplus measures the difference between the consumer's value of the good and the price paid for each unit. Thus, the consumers are willing to pay up to the total amount of consumer surplus.
