Answer to Question 1

Safety is a good that people choose to purchase. Evidence of this is apparent around us. Some people choose to purchase more expensive cars that are safer than others. Typically these cars are produced with more safety features, are heavier and larger than other cars. Some people choose to purchase smaller cars for their fuel economy. By doing so they are implicitly choosing to purchase less safety. It is not necessarily a form of market failure if people are getting what they pay for.

Answer to Question 2

D
