Explanation of Solution

  • Only the owner and guests are allowed to enter an apartment, as it is a closed apartment. If the same is converted to an open access resource then anyone can use it at any point of time in the way they want to.
  • This would result in the end of privacy and with time it will become congested as no one would be legally restricted from entering the apartment.
Economics Concept Introduction

Concept introduction:

Rival and non-rival goods:

If a good or service is consumed by a person alone at a time and its consumption is prevented from the other people at that point of time, then such kind of goods are known as rival goods.

If a good or service is consumed by a person alone and its consumption is not prevented from other people at that point of time, then this kind of good is called a non-rival good. Generally, private goods are treated as rival goods and public goods are treated as non-rival goods.
