Example Calculation of Net Social Benefit for Min's Music

To illustrate the concept of net social benefit, consider a scenario where the cost (C) of producing and broadcasting 'Min's Music' is $40,000. Given that the total social benefit is $75,000, the net social benefit is calculated as $75,000 - $40,000 = $35,000. Since this result is positive, it confirms that producing the program is socially beneficial.
