Answer 1

Answer:

1- A cabana along a beach that is open to the public --- Common resource

2- A new drum set for you to play in your friend's band --- Private good

3- A large, beautiful statue in a town square --- Public good

Explanation:

1- Common resources are goods that are not excluded, but are rival. Not excluded means that no restrictions can be imposed on the use, such as paying a price, for example because there is no personnel or technical provision available to enforce this.

2- Private goods are defined as goods that are excluded and rival. Private goods are the opposite of public goods.  

Excluded means that some consumers can be excluded from the use of this good. For example: Someone has bought a good and decides who uses the good.  

In turn, rival means that, if used properly, it cannot be consumed again or simultaneously by others.

3- A public good is a commodity or service characterized by two basic characteristics: non-rivalry and non-excludability.

Non-rivalry means that a person's consumption of a commodity does not affect the quantity or quality of the same commodity that another person can consume.

Non-excludability means that it is impossible to exclude anyone from the consumption of an item (for example, because it did not pay for the item). Goods that hold only one of the properties are called semicollective goods, while the goods that possess both properties are called genuine collective goods.
