Homework Answers
1) Marginal private cost (MPC) is the change in the producer's total cost brought about by the production of an additional unit of a good or service whereas, the marginal social cost of production is the producer's cost plus the external cost.
2) Marginal damage is defined as the additional damage caused by an
additional unit of emission.
3) An externality stems from the production or consumption of a
good or service, resulting in a cost or benefit to an unrelated
third party. Externalities lead to market failure because a product
or service's price equilibrium does not accurately reflect the true
costs and benefits of that product or service.
