The quota system is not efficient since the total supply is less than the equilibrium quantity. This will produce a deadweight loss which equals the lost supplier surplus plus the lost consumer surplus.

Graph 1 shows the market equilibrium while graph 2 shows the deadweight loss.
Answer:
1. $9.07
2. $25.5
Explanation:
(a) Total Cost:
= 260,000 × 60% (Wages and Salaries) + 60,000 × 50% (Other Overhead)
= $186,000
Cost of Wages and Salaries and Other Overheads Charged to Each Bouquet:
= Total Cost ÷ Total Bouquets
= $186,000 ÷ 20,500
= $9.07
(b) Total Cost:
= 260,000 × 30% (Wages and Salaries) + 60,000 × 40% (Other Overhead)
= $102,000
Cost of Wages and Salaries and Other Overheads Charged to Each Delivery:
= Total Cost ÷ Total Delivery
= $102,000 ÷ 4,000
= $25.5
