Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1CQ
To determine
Explain the importance to protect the producers from the non – paying customers.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
In the market, if the payment is not demanded for the goods and services, then the potential customers have large incentive to attempt a free ride in an economy. If the number of non – paying customers increase, then the sales revenue of sellers will decrease and be eliminated. It will lead to a decrease in the sellers’ incentive to supply the goods in the market.
