It belongs to Alma because Susan abandoned it and Alma took possession of it

By common law, Alma is a person who has found an abandoned property and she may claim it. To do this, she has to take some definite steps to show her claim. Alma can claim this abandoned piece of chair by taking it into her house, or by placing a sign on it to show that she now owns it.

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
