Suppose the government provides peanut butter to everyone free of charge and everyone consumes it to the point at which he receives no additional satisfaction from another spoonful. According to economics, is this necessarily good?
a. Yes, because of the law of supply.
b. No, because there might be some cases where the resources used to produce peanut butter could have been better used to produce more of other products.
c. Yes, because the law of diminishing marginal utility indicates that in order to get the greatest amount of satisfaction from the use of resources, people should consume as much of every good as they can.
d. Yes, because everyone is satisfied.
