Suppose that candy producers create a positive externality equal to $1 per pound of candy. Further suppose that the government offers a $1-per-pound subsidy to the producers. What is the relationship between the equilibrium quantity and the socially optimal quantity of candy?

a. The equilibrium quantity is greater than the socially optimal quantity. b. The equilibrium quantity is less than the socially optimal quantity. c. They are equal. d. There is not enough information to answer the question.

c. They are equal.

Explanation:

In this case, the positive externality per pound of candy and the subsidy received by producers are both $1. This means that the equilibrium quantity and the socially optimal quantity are equal. The equilibrium quantity occurs when supply equals demand for a product. The socially optimal quantity is obtained when comparing the marginal benefit to the marginal cost.

what do you mean.why did u repeat the question.

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
