Answer:

1. Inside the dorm room, the movies are <em>Non-Rival</em> which means that one person can watch the movie and it will not diminish the ability of others to watch as well.

Also as they are all in the same dorm, the showing of the movie is <em>Non-Excludable</em> as well because no one can stop the other from watching.

Public good is both Non-Rival and Non-Excludable so the showing of a movie IS a public good.

2.

Musashi   Sean    Bob   Eric   Total Willingness to pay

10   9   8   3   30

8   7   6   2   23

6   5   4   1   16

4   3   2   0   9

2   1   0   0   3

The optimal number of movies that can be rented is dependent on their total willingness to pay. If their Total willingness to pay for the movie is above $8 which is the cost of a movie, then they will get it. From the table, the fifth movie is below the price of $8 so they <u>should rent 4 movie</u>s.

3. If they rent 4 movies and there are 4 of them then the cost per person is;

= (8 *4)/4 people

= 24/4

= $8

This means that each roommate will pay <u>$8</u>.

What is an example of a scarce factor of production?
Maru [420]

Answer:

An example of scarce source of production is "Labour"

Explanation:

An example of scarce source of production is "Labour"

Labour

This refers to the work done by those who contribute to the production  processes.  Many people not in paid employment also provide things that are needed by  people. For example, a woman might not hold a job in order to raise her children  and look after the home.  Some people are more productive in the work place than others because they  have different levels of education, training and experience. They are said to  possess a greater amount of human capital.  This implies that this factor can be enhanced in an economy through educational  initiatives and investment in training.
