A good which is characterized by both rivalry and excludability is called as:

  • A.Public good
  • B.Private good
  • C.Merit good
  • D.Normal good

Answer: B

A good is rival when one person's use of it reduces what is available to others, and excludable when others can be kept from using it unless they pay. A private good, such as bread or a shirt, has both properties. A public good is non rival and non excludable, a merit good is one that the government considers worthy of encouraging whether or not it is rival, and a normal good is simply one whose demand rises with income. The answer is a private good, option B.
