Answer to Question 1

Market failure occurs when resources are misallocated or allocated inefficiently.

Answer to Question 2

Ford Motor Company is likely to have more physical assets like factories, machines and equipment that are easy to measure in market terms. However, a company like eBay may have few such physical assets since a large part of the value of their business is their good will - their reputation for conducting honest transactions and minimizing fraud.
