Answer:

The answer is: letter c, a recycling program

Explanation:

A "free-rider" problem happens when <em>some members in the society don't contribute an equal share in the cost of a shared resource. </em>

Among the choices above, the recycling program will give rise to such situation. For example, when it comes to a recycling program of making a school's wall out of recycled bottles (in order to protect it from outsiders), not everyone will join the program yet, most of the time, the program is done for the good of the society. In this case, for the good of the school and the people visiting it.

This results to many free riders taking advantage of the school's wall, including the people who visits the school (parents, babysitters, friends, guardians etc.) and loiters in the area to pass time while waiting for their kids or friends

The number of new domestic wind turbine generators installed each year in a particular country has been forecast to increase at

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

2030

Explanation:

The computation of the total number of new generators including this year is shown below

Given that

(A) = 100

Common Ratio (r) = 1.15

n = 10

Now

Sum of 10 terms Sn is

= A × (r n - 1) ÷ (r - 1)

= 100 × (1.1510 - 1) ÷ (1.15 - 1)

= 100 × 3.0456 ÷ 0.15

= 2030

We simply applied the above formula so that the total number of new generators could come

Orchard Farms has a pretax cost of debt of 7.29 percent and a cost of equity of 16.3 percent. The firm uses the subjective appro

svp [43]

Answer: Net present value = $446,556

Explanation:

First we'll compute the Weighted Average Cost of Capital :

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = $K_{e} \times W_{e} + K_{d} \times W_{d}$

= 0.163× $\frac{1}{1.48}$ + 0.0729× (1 - 0.35 )× $\frac{0.48}{1.48}$

= 0.1255

where;

$K_{e}$ = Cost of equity

$W_{e}$ = Proportion of equity

$K_{d}$ = Cost of debt

$W_{d}$ = Proportion of debt

Now, we'll compute the cost of capital using the following formula:

Cost of capital = Weighted Average Cost of Capital + adjustment factor

= 0.1255 + 0.0125

= 0.138 or 13.8%

∴ Net present value = Cash outflows - Total PV of cash flows

= $3,900,000 - $1,260,000 (Annuity value of 13.8% for 5 years)

$= 3,900,000 - 1260000 \times \frac{[1-(1+13.8)^{-5}]}{13.8}$

= $3,900,000 - $3,453,444

= $446,556

Therefore, the correct answer is option(b).
