Answer to Problem 1CQQ
Option 'a' is the correct answer.

Option (a):
Private goods have the characteristics of excludability and rivalry. Consumption of private goods reduces the availability for others and the producer can prevent the consumption if people do not pay for it.
Club goods are those goods that are non-rivalry and excludable n nature. The consumption of these goods does not reduce the availability for others. The producers of these goods can restrict the consumption if people do not pay for it. Thus, option ‘a’ is correct.

It is not possible to restrict other people to avail the goods those who do not pay for it. So, option 'c' is incorrect.
Option (d):

BY VIRGINIA POSTREL WOULD you rather have $1,000 for sure or a 90 percent chance of $5,000? A guaranteed $1,000 or a 75 percent chance of $4,000? In economic theory, questions like these have no right or wrong answers. Even if a gamble is mathematically more valuable a 75 percent chance of $4,000 has an expected value of $3,000, for instance someone may still prefer a sure thing. People have different tastes for risk, just as they have different tastes for ice cream or paint colors. The same is true for waiting: Would you rather have $400 now or $100 every year for 10 years? How about $3,400 this month or $3,800 next month? Different people will answer differently. Economists generally accept those differences without further explanation, while decision researchers tend to focus on average behavior. In decision research, individual differences "are regarded…arrow_forward
