A Playgrounds are nonrival in consumption, and the optimal number of playgrounds is zero. Playgrounds are nonrival in consumption, and the optimal number of playgrounds is two. D Playgrounds are rival in consumption, and the optimal number of playgrounds is three. Playgrounds are nonexcludable, and the optimal number of playgrounds is zero. E Playgrounds are excludable in consumption, and the optimal number of playgrounds is two.

Many highways have designated car pool or highoccupancy lanes. Generally, only cars containing at least two people can use these lanes. Single drivers are fined heavily if they are caught using these lanes. With new technologies, it is possible to charge drivers using car pool lanes by recording identifying markings on the car and billing the owners. Would allowing single drivers to pay to use car pool lanes increase economic efficiency? Explain.
Is the demand for public transit more responsive to price changes or service quality changes? Discuss the implication to transportation policies.

The three residents are trying to determine how large, in acres, they should build the public park. Suppose the cost to build the park is $12 per acre and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of building the park equally. If the residents vote to determine the size of park to builo basing their decision solely on their own willingness to pay (and trying to maximize their own surplus), what is the largest park size for which the majority of residents would vote "yes?" 1 acre 2 acres 3 acres 4 acres
