Expert Solution
Step 1

Externality:

Externality refers to the situation of a person engaging in activities that may influence the well-being of bystanders without any compensation payments or receipts.

When this impact benefits the bystander, it is called a positive externality and when this impact is negative to the bystander, it is called a negative externality. The negative externality is a social cost to society.
