Consider a good with external costs. Which of the following descriptions characterizes quantities of goods between the market equilibrium quantity and the allocatively efficient quantity?Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer.aThese quantities will not be produced by the private market, but the government can add these quantities to production using a subsidy, resulting in higher economic efficiency.bThese quantities will not be produced by the private market, but the government can add these quantities to production using a tax, resulting in higher economic efficiency.cThese quantities will be produced by the private market, but the government can eliminate these quantities from production using a subsidy, resulting in higher economic efficiency.dThese quantities will be produced by the private market, but the government can eliminate these quantities from production using a tax, resulting in higher economic efficiency.

When there is an externality in a market,Group of answer choicesthe externality will move the market to an economically efficient equilibrium.the externality will cause the market price to be less than or greater than the equilibrium price.the government should use price controls to enable the market to reach equilibrium.government intervention may increase economic efficiency.

Suppose the production of a good in a competitive market has a negative externality. Which of the following is true? a) The social marginal cost curve lies to the left of the market supply curve, and the market equilibrium quantity is less than the allocatively efficient output. b) The social marginal cost curve lies to the left of the market supply curve, and the market equilibrium quantity is at the allocatively efficient output. c) The social marginal cost curve lies to the left of the market supply curve, and the market equilibrium quantity is more than the allocatively efficient output. d) The social marginal cost curve lies to the right of the market supply curve, and the market equilibrium quantity is less than the allocatively efficient output. e) The social marginal cost curve lies to the right of the market supply curve, and the market equilibrium quantity is more than the allocatively efficient output.

The equilibrium price is the point where:A.the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.B.suppliers make a profit.C.increased demand causes prices to rise.D.increased supply causes prices to rise.E.suppliers do not make a profit.
