By graphing the Jones family's marginal benefit curve and the marginal cost curve for pear tree production, we can find the efficient number of trees
By graphing the Jones family's marginal benefit curve and the marginal cost curve for pear tree production, we can find the efficient number of trees to be produced for the Jones family alone (this occurs when MBJones = MC), which happens to be 3. However, when we consider the positive externality we can see that the marginal benefit to society is greater than the marginal benefit to the Jones family alone. Using the new marginal benefit curve, MB
