Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The market prices of the various products, as determined by the market forces, provide incentives that implicitly allocate economic resources. The market allows the optimizing buyers and sellers to freely negotiate the prices of various goods and services. For example, in the market for apartments, optimizing landlords and optimizing renters can freely negotiate the rental price of an apartment. These market prices then provide incentives that allow for efficient allocation of scarce resources. This allocation mechanism implies, for example, that mostly highly-paid workersand others with a high opportunity cost of timetend to rent the apartments with the best locations.
