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.

The correct words for the blank spaces are (<em>in that order</em>): low; high; opportunity; reservation.
Explanation:
For buyers and sellers to benefit from a transaction, the price of the goods or services offered must be at equilibrium. It implies the price is low enough for consumers to consider purchasing the product and high enough for producers to offer it earning a profit.
Besides, producers should consider their opportunity costs which are the costs of adding one more unit for production. On the other side of the road, consumers consumer their reservation price which is the maximum amount of money they could pay for a good or service based on the value they give to the product.
Answer:
The amount to save now is = $862.03 (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
In order to solve this, we will compute the end-of-year amounts using the 5% increase each year. This is done as follows:
Year 1 ending = $200
Year 2:
Year 2 beginning price = $200
Note that 5% increase = 5/100 = 0.05
increase in year 2 = 5% of 200 = 0.05 × 200 = 10
Year 2 new price = 200 + 10 = $210
Year 3:
beginning price = $210
increase in year 3 = 0.05 × 210 = $10.5
Year 3 new price = 210 + 10.5 = $220.5
Year 4
beginning price = $220.5
interest in year 4 = 0.05 × 220.5 = 11.025
new price in year 4 = 220.5 + 11.025 = $231.525
Next to calculate the amount needed to pay for one travel ticket per year for the next four years, we will add the prices of the tickets each year as follows:
Total amounts needed = 200 +210 + 220.50 + 231.53 = $862.03
There you go. let me know if this is right
