Answer to Question 1

False. If the marginal social benefit of a car exceeds the marginal social cost of a car, we can gain value by producing another car and we are losing value by not producing it. If the marginal social benefit exceeds the marginal social cost, producing another car yields a benefit that exceeds the cost of producing the car. So we are producing too few cars.
