    This document contains a tutorial on public finance with multiple choice questions testing concepts of allocative efficiency, marginal social costs and benefits, deadweight loss, and efficient production levels. It includes two tables, one showing supply schedules for pizza producers and the other showing marginal social costs and benefits for DVD production. Students are asked questions related to identifying efficient quantities, sources of inefficiency, implications of under and overproduction, and values related to marginal costs and producer surplus.
