Answer:

C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.

Explanation:

Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.

Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.

Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.

So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).

If the price elasticity of supply is 0.5 and the quantity supplied decreases by 6%, then the price must have decreased by 3%. a.

PolarNik [594]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.

The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.

Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price

0.5 = -6% / Change in price

0.5 * Change in price = -6%

Change in price = -6% / 0.5

= -12%

The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%
