Refer to the diagram. Assume that the horizontal axis measures the quantity of a good and the vertical axis measures the marginal-benefit and marginal-
cost of the good. Assuming that the good represented here has at least some positive benefits and costs, what can we conclude about the marginal-
benefit and marginal-cost curves?
