Offer an example of a good that has become a public (or quasi-public) good due to technology. Explain how technology has made this good non-rival in consumption or non-excludable. Is there a free rider problem with the good you mentioned? How can the free rider problem be addressed in this example?

Here is their willingness to pay for each film: Dwayne Javier Salman Chris First film $ 7 $ 5 $3 $2 Second film 6 4 2 1 Third film 5 3 1 0 Fourth film 4 2 0 0 Within the dorm room, is the showing of a movie a public good? Why or why not? If it costs $8 to stream a movie, how many movies should the roommates stream to maximize totalsurplus?c. If they choose the optimal number from part (b) and then split the cost of streaming the movies equally, how much surplus does each person obtain from watching the movies?d. Is there any…

If they choose the optimal number from part (b) and then split the cost of streaming the movies equally, how much surplus does each person obtain from watching the movies? Is there any way to split the cost to ensure that everyone benefits? What practical problems does this solution raise? Suppose they agree in advance to choose the optimal number of movies and split the cost equally. When Dwayne is asked his willingness to…
One reason we need government, even in a market economy, is that: a. The invisible hand, while powerful, is not perfect b. The invisible hand seldom leads to an efficient allocation of resources in any market c. Property rights become too entrenched in the absence of government d. There are insufficient quantities of externalities in the absence of government
Can you explain why the following statement is false?: If a good is non-rival and non-excludable, it will never be produced by the private sector (i.e., public-sector intervention is required in order for a non-zero quantity of such a good to be produced).
Market failure occurs when the private sector fails to distribute our resources efficiently through the pricing system. Externalities and a lack of public goods and services are two examples of market failure.Give an example of a positive and a negative externalities that someone faces in their life. Also, what are some public goods and services that you utilize in your everyday life?
