Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The efficient level of production is where the marginal social cost (MSC) equals the marginal private cost (MPC) plus the marginal external cost (MEC). The total damage at the efficient level is the area under the MEC curve up to the efficient quantity. Without seeing Figure 16.1, the correct answer typically involves calculating the total external costs imposed by the production, which is often represented by the area under the MEC curve up to the efficient production level. Given the options and typical scenarios where such a question might be asked, the total damage could be represented by a specific monetary value.
