Answer to Question 1

Market failures are undesirable social results associated with free market outcomes. They include the growth of monopoly power, the presence of externalities, a lack of public goods and services, and an inequitable distribution of income. Government can intervene by enforcing anti-trust, tax or subsidize externalities, provide for public goods and redistribute income to correct for market failures.

Answer to Question 2

An increase in demand will increase equilibrium price and quantity; and vice versa. An increase in supply will decrease equilibrium price and increase the equilibrium quantity; and vice versa. A simultaneous increase in demand and supply will assuredly increase the equilibrium quantity but the impact on equilibrium price is uncertain. A simultaneous increase in demand and decrease in supply will assuredly increase the equilibrium price but the impact on equilibrium quantity is uncertain.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
