Answer:

b. Bob listens to the radio station several hours per day but never donates since he suspects that other people will donate enough to keep the station on the air. 

. Jim is working on a group project for a class in which he wants a high grade. However, since the grades are assigned to the group as a whole and he knows that the other group members will pick up most of the extra work, Jim calls in sick and plays video games on his Dream Station 64. 

Explanation:

Free riding is when a person enjoys the benefit of a good or service but doesn't pay for it. This is a form of market failure.

Bob listens to the radio but doesn't donate and Jim would benefit from the grade given to the group but doesn't participate. These are instances of free riding.

Karl doesn't drive at night and so doesn't enjoy the benefits of the street light and doesn't pay. This is not an instance of free riding.

I hope my answer helps

forsale [732]

Answer:

(d) debt; opposite direction

Explanation:

Bonds or debentures represent fixed interest bearing instruments issued by corporates to raise long term funds i.e usually greater than 1 year repayable after a fixed duration.

Bonds could be of various forms such as zero coupon bonds, deep discount bonds, face value bonds etc

The common aspect of all being bonds represent debt which a corporation owes which must be repaid after a fixed duration. Also bonds demand periodic interest payments i.e fixed obligation which cannot be refused by the issuer company.

There is an inverse relationship between bond prices and market interest rates.

Reason : This is because if a higher interest rate prevails in the market than the coupon rate offered by the issuer, the issuer will have to reduce the price of it's bonds so as to make them attractive else investors would rather invest in other bonds in the market offering a higher rate of return.
