An article in the Wall Street Journal on the parking problems at Tesla's Fremont, California factory notes that: "Tesla has tried to encourage alternatives to driving, such as biking, public transportation and the shuttle buses provided from around the Bay Area ..."
If Tesla auctioned off the right to park in its lot, would the firm need to provide other encouragement for employees to use alternative means of transportation? Briefly explain.

C.
No, encouraging the use of transportation alternatives would not be necessary due to a shortage of spaces.
D.
Yes, encouraging driving alternatives would still be necessary because the supply of spaces would be unchanged.
Is the most economically efficient allocation of parking spaces in Tesla's lot likely to result from auctioning off the right to park or from keeping parking free while encouraging employees to use alternative means of getting to work? Briefly explain.
A.
Keeping parking free, because no one has to pay anything for parking.
B.
Keeping parking free, because those with less income may get a parking space.
C.
Auctioning off the right to park, because the people who get the parking spaces would be determined randomly.
D.
Auctioning off the right to park, because those who benefit the most from the parking spaces would receive them.

Tesla workers are not rational.
C.

ANSWER
Statement -
An article in the Wall Street Journal on the parking problems at Tesla's Fremont, California factory notes that: "Tesla has tried to encourage alternatives to driving, such as biking, public transportation and the shuttle buses provided from around the Bay Area ..."
If Tesla auctioned off the right to park in its lot, would the firm need to provide other encouragement for employees to use alternative means of transportation? Briefly explain.
Answer - D. Yes, encouraging driving alternatives would still be necessary because the supply of spaces would be unchanged.
Explanation - Even when the parking spots are auctioned, the problem of limited parking space would persist. Yes, some people would get their claim to parking spots based on the auction but others would be left without any space to park. Hence, the need to still encourage for driving alternatives would persist as well.
