Answer:

The correct answer is:  be installed; the free-rider problem.

Explanation:

The free-rider problem is a conflict that takes place when, within a group of people, a small part of it is not willing to contribute equally or is not willing to contribute at all in something that could be beneficial evenly for all of them. In front of this situation, a consensus is held to determine how to enforce that small part to contribute accordingly.

In the case, as <em>Mary </em>and <em>Jill </em>are willing to pay more than what they should ($300 instead of only $250) it is likely that eventually the security system will be installed since <em>two </em>out of three votes are needed for that to happen.

Answers

let <em>C</em> be the capital, then :

C\times4 \%  = 170500\\C\times\frac{4}{100}= 170500\\C=170500\times\frac{100}{4}\\C=4262500

The capital contributed by Mr. Jefferson was <em>$4,262,500</em>

A home store chain is prepared to buy 3,800 of your Frog &amp; Friends(TM) shower curtains per month for $5 each, but only 3,500
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The linear demand function for Frog & Friends Shower curtains is q = -60p + 4,100

Explanation: $5 each ===> 3,800 curtains per month

$10 each ===> 3,500 curtains per month.

===> slope of the demand line is (3800-3500)/(5-10) = 300/-5 = -60

===> demand function is q = -60p + c for some constant c.

Let 3,800 = -60*5 + c.

=3800 = -300 + c

===> c = 4,100.

Therefore the linear demand function for frog & friends curtains is q = -60p + 4,100
