Consider a beekeeper who produces honey and sells it at a constant price per kilogram. Assume that the marginal private cost of producing honey increases with output, and that there is a neighbouring farmer. The beekeeper's marginal private benefit (MPB) curve is upward sloping. O There is a marginal external cost of producing honey. O The marginal social benefit (MSB) curve will be above the MPB curve. O The beekeeper's profit-maximising output level is higher than the Pareto-efficient level.
