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.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

While taking a capital budgeting decision of source of fund, or the capital project to be chosen, we sometimes use Payback Period

It is defined as the tenure in which the cash flows will realize the cost of project, that is the period in which the entire cost will be paid back.

This provides the information regarding the time after which the project will be profitable, or the time at which it will reach break even.

The payback uses the criteria that if the payback period calculated is less than life of project it shall be accepted, in case it is equal to life of project then  there will be no profit no loss, and in case payback is higher than life of project then there will be loss.
