Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ben cannot afford to buy a high-end Mercedes Benz luxury car. Market failure is caused by the action of buyers or sellers who act rationally but consume or produce less than optimal outcomes. Ben cannot afford a luxury car; this car is out of his budget constraint; hence it is not a condition of market failure.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common example of market failure of public goods is called the ‘free-rider problem’ which occurs when there are too many non-paying consumers. If the public good is provided by private companies, the supply costs can become too high for the company to continue providing them.
