Answer:
b. social benefits will be greater than private benefits
Explanation:
Positive externalities can be defined as those that produce positive effects for society in relation to the consumption of a good or service.
This is because the social benefit is the sum of the private benefit plus the sum of the external benefit.
An example of positive externality pertinent to the present is the fact that vaccinating people generates greater positive effects on society, because when vaccinating an individual there is less chance of having more people infected with some disease.
So it is correct to say that the social benefits will be greater than the private ones. Letter b.
Answer:
Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.
When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.
However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.

Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
`If firms can easily enter and exit the market, then firms operating in the market will earn zero economic profit in the long run. This is because the short run is too short for firms to enter and exit so potential firms will enter and exit in the long run.
If the existing firms will be having negative profits, the firms having loss will exit the market. This will reduce market supply. As a result, the price level will increase. This will go on until all firms will have zero economic profits.
Similarly, if the existing firms are having positive economic profits in the long run, the other firms will enter the market. This will increase the market supply such that the price level decreases. This will go on till all the firms will be having zero economic profits.
