1. A. If the production of a good yields a negative externality, then the social-cost curve lies (above, below) the supply curve, and the socially optimal quantity is (greater, less) than the equilibrium quantity. (Circle the correct answer for each.) B. If the production of a good yields a positive externality, then the social-value curve lies to the (left, right) of the demand curve, and the socially optimal quantity is (greater, less) than the equilibrium quantity. (Circle the correct answer for each) C. With government intervention, a market will tend to (over, under) supply products that produce positive externalities. Whereas with negative externalities, a market will tend to (over, under) supply products when there is no government intervention. (Circle the correct answer for each.)

'Which of the following statements about a market that is affected by a positive externality is correct? The optimum level of output is less than the free market level of output and the optimum price is greater than the free market price: The optimum level of output is greater than the free market level of output and the optimum price is less than the free market price: The optimum level of output is less than the free market level of output and the optimum price is less than the free market price. The optimum level of output is greater than the free market level of output and the optimum price is greater than the free market price:'
