Be sure to investigate what is changing in each phase. What are the first four phases of the interactive graph accomplishing? They assess the marginal external benefit not accounted for, and the resulting overproduction in the market. They assess how marginal external benefit changes relative to marginal private benefit. They assess how marginal external benefit changes relative to marginal private cost. They assess the marginal external cost not accounted for, and the resulting overproduction in the market.

AP MICROECONOMICS Marginal Social Cost Marginal Private Cost Demand = Marginal Social Benefit Q1 Q2 Q3 Marginal Revenue The production of good X creates an externality. The following questions are based on the graph above, which shows the marginal revenue, marginal social benefit, marginal private cost, and marginal social cost associated with the production of good X. (a) Is the externality positive or negative? Explain. (b) Using labeling from the graph above, identify the socially optimum output. Explain how you determined your answer. (c) Suppose that good X is produced by a profit-maximizing monopoly. Answer each of the following. (i) Using labeling from the graph above, identify the unregulated firm's output. Explain how you determined your answer.

With the help of the graph, it is observed that the marginal private benefit of the good is $95 and, due to a positive externality, the marginal benefit to society is $125. In this case, the marginal external benefit created by the positive externality is $. In the graph, represents a deadweight loss. The deadweight loss the foregone benefit to society of the externality. Positive externality will occur when A. the marginal social benefit is equal to marginal private benefit B. the marginal social benefit is equal to deadweight loss C. the marginal social benefit is greater than the marginal cost to produce at the market equilibrium D. the marginal social benefit is equal to marginal social cost to produce at the market equilibrium Which of the following statements is true regarding pecuniary externalities? A. It is a branch of the negative externality. B. It causes market inefficiencies. C. It leads to wrong equilibrium quantities. D. It affects other people only through market price.
The following graph describes the demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves that a monopolist faces. Use the graph to answer the questions below. 1. What will be the monopoly price, output, and profit for this firm? (3 points) 2. Shade the sections of the graph that represent the consumer surplus and producer surplus. (2 point) 3. If this industry were competitive and every firm had the same marginal costs shown in the picture, what would be the price, output and profit? (3 points) 4. Shade the section of the graph that represents the deadweight loss from the monopoly. (1 point)
