Refer to Figure 4-4. The figure above represents the market for iced tea. Assume
that this is a competitive market. At an output of 10,000 units
the marginal benefit of iced tea is greater than the marginal cost; therefore, output is
inefficiently high.
the marginal benefit of iced tea is greater than the marginal cost; therefore, output is
inefficiently low.
the marginal cost of iced tea is greater than the marginal benefit; therefore, output is
inefficiently low.
producers should lower the price to $1 in order to sell the quantity demanded of
10,000.
