Answer:

An externality exists if a financial transaction affects the benefit to third parties. Externalities can be both positive and negative, depending if these affect the benefit to third parties on a positive or negative way.

An example of a negative external effect is air pollution; a factory owner may lack the incentive to limit air pollutant emissions because the damage mainly affects someone else, that is, it doesn't affect his property, but someone else's property or common property (such as the case of the environment).

Therefore, if there were more specific regulations regarding property and the effects of the misuse of this right, contamination could be avoided.

Answer:

A) The firm can ratify Haskin's actions and take over the contract.

Explanation:

Hanskin's was not explicitely allowed to buy the property in Arizona, but he did it with the intention of increasing the amount of assets that the real estate company holds.

The board of directors should simply take over the contract as long as it is profitable (it most likely is), and analyze whether to change its policies about property purchasing or not, because requiring a board resolution for each one of them can make the process slow and increase opportunity costs.

Choose the preferred sentence from each pair and justify your choice. a. (1) Lindsay's request to telecommute was denied, but sh

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(2). Although her request to telecommute was denied, Lindsay will begin a flextime schedule in two weeks.

Explanation:

The second choice would be the most preferred as it conveys the idea in a formal and precise manner. <u>The complex sentence beginning with the subordinate clause already hints the listener that the key message is yet to come. It helps him/her in understanding the intended message without any confusion</u>. The first sentence fails to create that specificity as it connects two independent ideas which remove the listener's focus from the main idea i.e. 'she will begin a flextime schedule in two weeks.' Thus, option (2) adopts the correct format and sentence structure to deliver the message effectively, efficiently, and precisely.
