Answer to Question 1

a) A lighthouse is non-excludable in consumption because nobody can be prevented from using it. It is also non-rival in consumption because its use by one person will not reduce the quantity available to others.
b) A pair of shoes is excludable in consumption because anybody who does not pay for it can be prevented from using it. It is also rival in consumption because it can be used by only one person at a time.
c) A paid Web site is excludable but non-rival in consumption because anybody who does not pay for its use can be prevented from using it but its use by one person will not restrict its use by others.
d) A congested road is non-excludable but rival in consumption because even though nobody can be excluded from its use, its use by one individual will reduce the space available for others.

Answer to Question 2

C
