Suppose that currently 80 million hamburgers are being produced and sold at a price of $2.50.

Some hamburgers produced incur opportunity costs of production that exceed their value or marginal benefit to consumers. Which of the following must be true for the market to be able to achieve an efficient outcome? Check all that apply. Every economic player works selflessly to promote the social interest.
