Answer to Question 1

A minimum wage is a regulation that makes it illegal to pay or receive a wage rate lower than a specified level. If a minimum wage is set below the equilibrium wage, the minimum wage has no effect because it does not make the equilibrium wage rate illegal.

Answer to Question 2

The sailboat is a private good. The sailboat has none of the characteristics of a public good. First, people can easily be excluded from using the boat. Basically, the only people allowed on the boat are the people the owner allows on the boat. Second, the owner's use of the boat prevents other people from simultaneously using the boat. That is, the owner's consumption of the boat decreases the quantity available for other consumers.
