Explanation:
There are various steps that you should take to make sure that your product does not violate any IPs. First, you should make sure that those involved with the product sign an NDA. This document prevents these individuals from talking about the product with others, which prevents it's details from leaking and allowing competitors to beat you to market by releasing their own version of your product first. The other step that you should take would be to patent the design and trademark the name of the product. Doing so will make sure that the product is unique and that it does not interfere with already existant IP's, as well as preventing others from infringing on your product.

Answer:
(a) $7; $205 million
(b) $9; $195 million
(c) $400 million
(d) $390 million
(e) Loss = $10 million
Explanation:
(a) Price paid by consumers when no tariff imposed:
= Marginal cost + Distribution cost
= $6 + $1
= $7
Quantity demanded:
Q = 240 - 5P
= 240 - 5 × $7
= 240 - $35
= $205 million pounds
(b) At imposed tariff of $2 per pound, then the new price paid by consumers:
= Marginal cost + Distribution cost + Tariff
= $6 + $1 + $2
= $9
New quantity demanded:
Q = 240 - 5P
= 240 - 5 × $9
= 240 - $45
= $195 million pounds
(c) Lost consumer surplus:
= ($9 - $7)($195) + (0.5)($9 - $7)($205 - $195)
= ($2 × $195) + (0.5 × $2 × $10)
= $390 + $10
= $400 million
(d) Tax revenue collected by government:
= Quantity demanded under tariff × tariff
= $195 × $2
= $390 million
(e) Tax revenue of $390 million received is less than the value of coffee sold under tariff $400 million.
Loss = $400 million - $390 million
= $10 million
