Answer:
False. Markets can sometimes fail to reach efficiencies when there are externalities, public goods, monopoly, or serious information asymmetries
Explanation:
Invisible hand (effective allocation of resources in a laissez faire economy) sometimes works because when market function effectively and send correct price as signal of values (to society) to producers.
However, when goods can't be traded on markets (public goods) or its values are not correctly reflected on markets (externalities, information asymmetries) or competition is not ensured (monopoly), markets cannot ensure effective allocation of resources.
When total utility starts to decrease, each additional song hurts MORE than the previous song.
Answer: there will be too much pollution
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that government officials have set an emissions tax to reduce pollution and that the optimal tax should have been $1,500 but government officials have set the tax equal to $500.
It should be noted that due to the fact that the optimal tax has been set below the equilibrium, this will lead to a rise in pollution as the people will be aware that they're paying less than the optimal level which will lead to more pollution. An increase in the optimal tax will have help in reducing the pollution.

Answer:
The correct answer is: reduce; not as highly valued as others.
Explanation:
All the economic systems must provide people with the goods and services that they want and need. But it is also necessary to limit them from getting as much as they wish.
This is because providing as many goods and services as they want may lead to a reduction in efficiency. Economic efficiency is achieved when resources are allocated in such a way that there is no wastage and resources are allocated to most valued use.
If the economic systems do not restrict the production of goods and services as much as they want it may lead to the production of those goods and services that are not as highly valued as others. This will cause wastage of resources, thus reducing the economic efficiency of the system.
