This market has a 50-cent price and a 400-tape quantity in equilibrium.- Note the demand price and the supply price if the quantity is 500 tapes.
- The demand price is 40 cents. This is the value of the good produced.
- The supply price is 60 cents. This is the value of goods not produced.
- Producing this quantity is the same as giving up 60 cents and getting 40 cents in return.
- 500 tapes is not an efficient use of resources
