Answer:
The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.
Explanation:
That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.
So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.
However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.
Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.

Explanation:
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
P- percent
r-rate
t-time
P: 10000
R:8 but u have to move it two spots so it would be 0.08
T:5 years
10,000(0.08) (5) = 4,000
$4,000
That's how I do it. I hope it helps!
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Jill:
Weekly deposit= $96.15
The number of weeks= 30*52= 1,560
Interest rate= 0.098/52= 0.00189
Joe:
Annual deposit= $5,000
Number of years= 30 years
Interest rate= 9.8%
To calculate the final value of Jill and Joe, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= weekly/annual deposit
<u>Jill:</u>
FV= {96.15* [(1.00189^1,560)-1]} / 0.00189
FV= $916,853.88
<u>Joe:</u>
FV= {5,000*[(1.098^30)-1]} / 0.098
FV= $791,953.50
