1. If a good generates a positive externality, does the free market result in overproduction or underproduction of this good? (or is the amount produced "just right", i.e. allocatively efficient?) Explain. 2. If a good generates a negative externality, does the free market result in overproduction or underproduction of this good? (or is the amount produced "just right", i.e. allocatively efficient?) Explain.

'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:'
