Answer to Question 1

If the consumption of a good involves a positive externality, the marginal social benefit derived from the good exceeds the marginal private benefit. However, the consumers of the good do not take this additional benefit into consideration and continue consuming only as long as the marginal private benefit from consumption exceeds the marginal private cost. In this case, if the consumption of the good is subsidized, the marginal private benefit from consumption will increase, causing consumers to consume more.

Answer to Question 2

A
