Answer:

The correct answer is Provide info that people want.

Explanation:

Externalities are caused when the production or consumption of a good or service has a cascading effect that is not purely reflected in its price and therefore there is no appropriate compensation to be paid for it. If the price does not include the true costs of the good or service there will be a market failure. Importantly, externalities can be positive or negative. To prevent refusals, governments must add certain taxes to assets to cover their social cost.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Sole Proprietorship
Partnership
Limited Partnership
Limited Liability Company

Explanation:

Sole Proprietorship is the type of business in which the liability is not limited. Due to this issue, the owner is solely responsible to pay off the debts of company from his personal owned assets if the business goes bankrupt.

Partnership is just like sole proprietorship but here the partners are the only responsible persons to payoff the debt of the company because the liability is limitless. The burden of the company debts is equally shared among the partners.

Limited Partnership is less risky because the liability is limited and only the amount invested in the business is subjected to the payment of borrowings from the lenders. The limited partner is responsible for his actions which means if his misdeed resulted in fine then it would be paid from his share first and then the other partners are equally liable to for compensation if their is still any amount left.

In the case of Limited liability company, the liability is limited and the burden of the payment of the liability falls on the company. So the investor is not subjected to pay the debts of the company because the limited liability company is a separate entity and is solely liable to pay for its debts.

Answer:

Increase directly by $1 million and an additional lending capacity of $4 million will be created for the banking system.

Explanation:

The formula for increase in money supply is

Increase in money supply = (1 / Required reserve ratio) * Excess reserve.

Now, we have, required reserve ratio of 20%.

That means, out of $1 million deposit, required reserve = ($1,000,000 * 0.20) = $200,000.

Now, we knew that, Total reserve = required reserve + excess reserve

Total Reserve = $1,000,000 and required reserve = $200,000.

So, Excess reserve = $1,000,000 - $200,000 = $800,000.

Now, Increase in money supply = (1 / 0.20) * $800,000 = $4 million.

That means,

If the public deposits this amount into transactions accounts, the money supply will:

Increase directly by $1 million and an additional lending capacity of $4 million will be created for the banking system.
