Social costs are greater than private costs.

Option C

Explanation: 

A negative externality happens if an individual or a company decides not to pay the full cost of the action. If a product has a negative externality, it costs society more than the customer spends.

If people have a share of the costs associated with the production of goods, negative externalities exist and have no influence over the associated production decisions.

For example, because of expanded manufacturing practices in its vicinity, parents will have to pay higher healthcare costs associated with pollution-led asthma in their kids.

Zane's Vanes is a service that restores old weather vanes. Zane has just spent $125 purchasing a 1920s-era weather vane which

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.

Explanation:

Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.

Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.

Zane has two options:

Sell the vane as it is for $200.
Keep restoring the vane, spend $200 more and sell the vane for $500.

If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.

If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.
