Answer to Question 1

If the price of a good falls and nothing else changes, then the quantity of the good demanded increases and there is a movement down along the demand curve, but the demand for the good remains unchanged and the demand curve does not shift.

Answer to Question 2

Market failure occurs when resources are misallocated, or allocated inefficiently. The result is waste or lost value.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
