Assume we are measuring coffee on the horizontal axis and flowers on the vertical axis. The government introduces a tax on coffee consumed beyond C* units. What will happen to the budget constraint? O The budget constraint will become kinked at C* units of coffee and will have a flatter slope at units beyond C*. O The budget constraint will pivot inwards around the horizontal intercept. O The budget constraint will pivot outwards around the vertical intercept. O The budget constraint will shift outwards and become steeper. O The budget constraint will become kinked at C* units of coffee and will have a steeper slope at units beyond C*. O No answer.

QUESTION 16 16. Is the total expenditure of revenue on a government program (revenue collected by a tax) the full measure of the program's cost to society? O a) Yes. O b) No, because the benefit to society always exceeds the dollar cost of government programs. O c) No, because this does not include the efficiency cost of collecting the tax revenue. O d) No, because it does not include the cost of program administration and losses due to corruption.
2. Consider a society with only two people one rich and one poor-who have the same util- ity functions. These utility functions exhibit diminishing marginal utility. Suppose that taxes are set such that the total amount of utility that each person loses is the same. Does it follow that the tax will be progressive? Explain.
