Question
The diagram to the right shows the perfectly competitive market for honey. The demand curve shows
the marginal benefit to society of consuming an extra unit of honey. The supply curve shows the
marginal costs of producing an extra unit of honey.
However, suppose that, as a by-product to producing honey, honeybees pollinate flowers, allowing more
flowers to grow and bloom. Suppose that for each unit of honey produced, one unit of flowers is
also created, providing an external benefit of $6.
Use the line drawing tool to draw and label the social marginal cost curve. (Make sure that the curve's
one end extends to the output level 18 and it crosses the demand curve.)
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
