00:01
So let's try to draw this as it is.
00:04
So we're told to consider a market for hamburgers.
00:07
A market is a story about quantity and price, where there is downward slope in demand and upward slope in supply.
00:14
We're told that the equilibrium is at a price of five and a quantity of 50 million, right? this, suppose that we are currently at equilibrium.
00:25
So you are here, right? we start at equilibrium.
00:29
This is economically efficient, right? so i'm going to say this is the efficient outcome, right? equilibrium is efficient, right? because think about what demand and supply means, right? demand is equal to the marginal benefit.
00:47
We are willing to pay up to how much value it gives us.
00:51
And supply is equal to marginal cost.
00:54
So at equilibrium, right, all, produced where marginal benefit is greater than marginal cost.
01:07
So here we value the hamburger at this much.
01:10
It only costs this much to produce.
01:12
It should be produced.
01:14
We produce it.
01:14
This hamburger costs only this much.
01:19
It costs, we value it this much to produce...
