Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

An external cost is the cost associated with the production of a good that is not borne by the seller. Rather, the cost is borne by third parties. The seller calculates the amount of the good to produce by comparing private benefits and costs. By ignoring the external costs, the seller produces more of the good than would be the case if the seller actually had to bear the full costs of production. Hence, the seller overallocates resources to the production of the good.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
