11) If the marginal benefit of a hot dog is greater than its marginal cost, then to increase efficiency,

A) more hot dogs should be produced.

B) fewer hot dogs should be produced.

C) nothing should be done if the marginal benefit is greater than the marginal cost by the maximum amount because in this case the efficient quantity of hot dogs is being produced.

D) production should be halted.

E) More information is needed about the price of a hot dog in order to determine if production should be increased, decreased, or not changed.

ii.the allocatively efficient quantity.

iii.the quantity with no deadweight loss.

A) i, ii, and iii.

B) only i.

C) only ii.

D) only i and ii.
