Answer: Option(a) is correct.

Explanation:

Corn chips and potato chips, both are substitute goods and thus, affect each others demand by a small changes in various factors.

In this question, a good weather increases the harvesting of corn which increases the supply of corn chips.

This shifts the supply curve rightwards as a result price falls and quantity increases. Hence, this lower price, increases the consumer surplus in the market of corn chips.

This change in the supply of corn chips will affect the demand for potato chips in the potato chips market. So, the demand curve for potato chips shifts leftwards. This shift in the demand curve, reduces the price level and quantity level. Hence, this lowers the producer surplus in the market for potato chips.

But however other options are valid because favorable trade agreements and developed transportation and IT makes the international trade easy and beneficial to both the buyer and the seller. Moreover, when domestic markets matures, the rate of growth slows down and falls to zero. this is when the businesses want to emerge and find new markets abroad in order to benefit from the trade as in matured market there is less chance for businesses to grow and it becomes risky

In a competitive market, if production (and consumption) continues until the marginal benefit of one more unit equals marginal c
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In a competitive market, if production (and consumption) continues until the marginal benefit of one more unit equals marginal cost, then total surplus is maximized.

As for any extra unit produced

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = Surplus

Marginal Benefit = Marginal cost = No Surplus / No loss

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = loss

When your Marginal benefit is maximum and Marginal cost is minimum then the surplus will be maximized.

Most efficient situation in which benefit is maximum and the cost is minimum results in maximized surplus.
