Answer:

Richard renovates a dilapidated historic home in the center of town ; too little is produced ; subsidizing the product

Explanation:

Externalities are the positive or negative side effects to third party, without any monetary exchange for the same. Positive externalities are the positive side effects, without any monetary exchange.

Alan gifting watch to his father, Sean cleaning his garage : have no extra social positive side effect. These are not positive externalities. Richard renovating a dilapidated historic home in town center : as it benefits all the people around the locality who, not having a dilapidated building in their vicinity - in terms of cleanliness, less construction accident risk etc.

Markets work on basis of 'Marginal private benefit' , 'Marginal private cost' equalisation. Positive externalities have extra social benefit. So, their total benefit being more than their private benefit - make markets underproduce than their socially optimal quantity

Government should subsidise the product. As this will internalise the extra social benefit due to positive externalities. And, it will also solve the problem of under production than socially optimal quantity.

<span>If a competitive firm can sell a ton of steel for $500 a ton and it has an average variable cost of $400 a ton, and the marginal cost is $600 a ton, the firm should reduce its output. The reason for the reduction of output is the marginal cost it will have. The marginal cost exceeds the selling price of the product which is a bad sign for the company.</span>

Suppose Renee Beaver can prove that she did not actually sign an exculpatory clause and this fact convinces race organizers to p
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation: At common law, minors are allowed to enter into contracts, never minding their provisions. The validity of the contract and its' individual provisions themselves, may or may not be enforceable depending on many other factors.

Therefore, exculpatory clauses are generally not favored by courts and when they are upheld, they are construed strictly against those attempting to invoke them.

Beaver attempted to disaffirm the contract in what is assumed to be a reasonable time by her action of filing suit against the operator. However, most states only permit a minor to disaffirm a contract in its' entirety.

some courts refuse to allow minors to disaffirm fully performed contracts unless they can return all consideration received; and some courts permit disaffirmance but subject the minor to tort liability for his or her misrepresentation.

Also, the court could conclude that Beaver did in fact implicitly accept its terms. However, when a minor enters into a contract, she or he may only accept the terms of the previously unenforceable contract if they do so within a reasonable time after they reach the age of majority. Beaver's filing of a lawsuit against the operator likely constitutes an action intending to implicitly disaffirm the terms, the absence of which is required to affirm a contract by a minor.

The average temperature in san francisco, california, for december, january, and february is 11°c (52°f). during the same three-
IRINA_888 [86]
Heating Degree Days

In comparison to San Francisco, Richmond, Virginia has a higher high temperature and a lower low temperature. And San Francisco has a more steadily averaged temperature for both highs and lows throughout the year, less extreme variation.

And although the average winter temperatures discussed in the question is significantly lower for Richmond, the issue with having similar amounts of heating degree days, relates to the outside air temperature falling below 65 degree Fahrenheit.

A heating degree day corresponds to the time when it is necessary to heat a building due to the outside air temperature falling below this threshold - the level or number of 65 degrees. 

Though seasonal differences exist for both San Francisco and Richmond, as presented by the winter average differences, both of these cities fall below the 65 degree Fahrenheit level or Heating Degree Days at a similar rate, but San Francisco is not as much. Both cities transition to above this temperature during the warmer months, San Francisco by a smaller amount than Richmond, but like Richmond, still above the 65 degree level.
