Allocative Efficiency example 2
At an output of 110, the marginal cost is £ 17, but the price people are willing to pay is only £ 7.
At this output, the marginal cost (£ 17) is much greater than the marginal benefit (£ 7) so there is over-consumption.
Society is over-producing this good.
Allocative efficiency will occur at a price of £ 11. This is where the marginal cost (MC) = marginal utility.
E) Allocatively inefficient
H) Allocatively efficient
