Complete the "Marginal Benefit" and "Marginal Cost" columns in the table above.
Can you please show the detailed steps involved that took you to the final answers so that I can understand?  1.Suppose the marginal costs (MC) of reading are constant & the marginal benefits (MB) of reading decline (over time). Initially, the MB of Reading are greater than the MC. Draw the MB curve and MC curve of studying, & identify the efficient amount of reading. Then explain why the efficient point is the point at which the net benefits of reading are maximized. ________________________________________________2. Using the diagram you drew in question 1, lower the marginal costs of reading and identify the new efficient amount of reading. Also, identify the additional net benefits derived as a result of the lower marginal cost of reading.
