Incorrect. The answer is false not true. The efficient price is where price
equals marginal cost. Social welfare is the area below demand and above
marginal cost
W = ∫0QP(Q)dQ - ∫0QMC(Q)dQ
When we pick a Q to maximize welfare, we get
∂W/∂Q = ∂ (∫0QP(Q)dQ - ∫0Q dQ)/∂Q = P(Q) - MC(Q) = 0 => Price equals marginal cost.
Provided second order conditions hold.
∂(P(Q))/∂Q - ∂(MC(Q))/∂Q < 0 or slope of demand is less than slope of marginal cost.
