Answer:

B) offer grants to university researchers

Explanation:

Positive externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties exceeds its costs.

Research and development activities usually generate positive externality because discoveries and inventions are made which benefits the whole society.

Also, education generates positive externality .

Government can encourage activities that generates positive externality by giving grants and subsidies.

Giving grants and subsidies reduces the cost of activities.

Taxes increases the cost of production and this can discourage production.

It is activities that generate negative externality that are usually taxed.

Negative externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties is less than the cost.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is (C) a general and ongoing rise in the average level of prices in an economy.

The definition above, usually applies to inflation only if the rise happens for a certain period of time. In other words, the price does not fluctuate. Though oftentimes we consider inflation as bad, this occurrence brings both positive and negative effects. Negative effects of inflation are seen in the discouragement of savings and investments and goods shortages because people might consider buying products at large quantities due to the price volatility. Positive effects of inflation include the decrease of unemployment.

Olegator [25]
Hey there!

For salespeople, its all about relationships and conversations and relationships with people. If you're good friends with someone from your consuming company, you can expect to make good sales as they are acquaintances and would want to buy things from people who they can trust.

Therefore, if you can develop friendships and trust with people from the company who would buy from you, they might just accidentally or purposely let you in on secrets from their company that would maximize sales- and that's always the goal of a salesperson.

Hope this helps!
