Question
There are two parking lots near the local gym in a certain suburb - the silver parking lot and the gold parking lot. The silver parking lot is free and has 85 parking bays. The gold parking lot, on the other hand, has a parking attendant present where drivers are required to pay $3.50 per hour. The gold parking lot however has only 25 parking bays.
Which of the following statements is true?
The silver parking lot is considered a public good.
The gold parking lot is considered a collective good.
The silver parking lot is non-rivalrous in nature because there are many available parking slots.
Both parking lots are rivalrous in nature.
The gold parking lot is excludable in nature because it has a limited parking capacity relative to the silver parking lot.
Solution
The statement "The gold parking lot is excludable in nature because it has a limited parking capacity relative to the silver parking lot." is true.
Excludability refers to the property of a good whereby a person can be prevented from using it. In this case, the gold parking lot is excludable because the parking attendant can prevent drivers from using it if they do not pay the fee. The limited parking capacity also contributes to its excludability, as once all the bays are taken, further drivers can be excluded from parking there.
The other statements are not necessarily true. The silver parking lot being a public good would depend on other factors not mentioned, such as whether it's provided by the government or a private entity. The gold parking lot being a collective good is also not necessarily true, as collective goods are typically non-excludable and non-rivalrous, which doesn't fit with the gold parking lot's description.
The statement about the silver parking lot being non-rivalrous because there are many available slots is also not necessarily true. Rivalry in consumption refers to the characteristic of a good whereby one person's use diminishes other people's use. Even though the silver parking lot has many slots, if it's full, then it becomes rivalrous as one person parking there prevents another from doing so.
Finally, the statement that both parking lots are rivalrous in nature is not necessarily true for the same reasons mentioned above. While they can
