Question Scenario: Alexander and Vanessa

Two individuals, Alexander and Vanessa, benefit from scientific research.

Alexander‘s marginal private benefit from such research is given by the equation P

= 200 – Q, where Q refers to the amount of research undertaken and P is the price

Alexander is willing to pay for such research. Vanessa’s marginal private benefit

from such research is given by the equation P = 100 – Q. Suppose the marginal

social cost of engaging in such research is constant at $100.

Reference: Ref 17-15

Alexander and Vanessa are the only two individuals in a society, which of the

following equations correctly represents the marginal social benefit (MSB) of
