Answer:
Government in a market system can increase economic efficiency by collecting taxes in order to subsidize the production of
public and quasi-public goods.
Explanation:
Public and quasi-public goods can only be provided efficiently by the government or quasi-government organizations for the benefit of every member of the society, without exhibiting the characteristics of a private good. Public and quasi-public goods are known to be non-excludable and non-rivalrous, with partial diminishability and rejectability.

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:
- if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
- if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year
You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.
Explanation:
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
