Answer:
a. iii. Too little 
b. i. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P1.
Explanation:
Allocative efficiency refers to the point in production where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost. As this is a perfectly competitive market, marginal revenue is the same as price which as shown in the question, exceeds Marginal cost. The firms are therefore producing too little to achieve allocative efficiency and need to produce more to make price and marginal cost equal. 
In the long run, the firms will produce more such that supply would exceed the original quantity supplied of Q1. This will lead to the price falling back to P1 as there is now less scarcity. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:

Interest rate= 5%
Amount= $100,000
Tax= 0.05x100,000
Tax= $5,000

Answer:
                         Present Value
Stream A                $1,251.247
Stream B                 $1,300.316
Explanation:
<em>The present value  of a future sum is the amount that would be invested today at the prevailing interest rate to have the sum</em>
Stream A
(100 × 1.08^9-1) + (400× 1.08^-2) + (400× 1.08^-3) + (400× 1.08^-4) + (300× 1.08^-5) = $1,251.247
Stream B 
(300 × 1.08^9-1) + (400× 1.08^-2) + (400× 1.08^-3) + (400× 1.08^-4) + (100× 1.08^-5) = $1,300.316
                            Present Value
Stream A                $1,251.247
Stream B                 $1,300.316
