Figure 18 shows the total social benefit (TSB) and the total social cost (TSC) of ATSB producing the bread. The marginal social benefit is where TSB is the change in the social benefit of the good and is a one-unit increase in the output of bread per month. The marginal social benefit is measured by the slope of the total social benefit curve at any point. Similarly, the marginal social cost, Page 2 of 5 ATSC AQ is measured by the slope of the total social cost curve at any point Analyse the diagram and answer the following questions.
