Consider the following scenario:
Helen [10]

Answer: 1. Charities

2. Government action the only viable solution

Explanation:

Externalities are the resultant additional effects that are experienced by others as a result of actions by an economic agent who does not bear the extra aformentioned cost or benefit that their actions bring about.

1. Private Solutions to Externalities include any solution independent of the government.

The above Private Solution is Charities because it was a Non-profit Environmental Organization that dealt with the lobbying for the reduction to be acted upon by state agents. These types of organisations are usually Charities.

2. If it is shown that the potential gains are viewed to be quite high as in this case then negotiating with the polluters might not work. In this case Government Intervention is needed to force the polluters to adhere to rules and regulations.

According to the human-capital view, education
lana66690 [7]

According to the human-capital view, education is an indicator of natural ability.  Human capital encompasses assets such as education, training, intelligence, skills, health, and other characteristics valued by employers such as loyalty and punctuality. As such, it is an intangible asset or characteristic that does not (and cannot) appear on a company's balance sheet.

Human capital is thought to boost productivity and consequently profitability. The more a firm invests in its personnel, the more likely it is to be productive and successful. Because not all labor is created equal, firms can develop human capital by investing in employers training, education, and perks.

Finding a present value is the reverse of finding a future value.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the investment with the interest rate of 5.5% has the higher price today.

The investment that matures in 6 years has the lower price.

Other things remaining equal, the present value of a future cash flow decreases if the investment time period increases.

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

To determine which investment would have the greater price today, one has to calculate the present value of the investments.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator.

For the first investment,

Cash flow from year 1 to 4 = 0

Cash flow in year 5 =  $18,500 

Interest rate = 5.50%

Present value = $14,154.99

For the second investment,

Cash flow from year 1 to 4 = 0

Cash flow in year 5 =  $18,500 

Interest rate = 8.50%

Present value = $12,303.34

From the calculation, the investment with the interest rate of 5.5% has the higher present value. So, the investment with the interest rate of 5.5% has the higher price today.

2. To determine which investment option has a lower price today, find the present value of the two options.

The present value of the investment that matures in 5 years is $674.32

The present value of the investment that matures in 6 years is $623.21

The investment that matures in 6 years has the lower price.

From the above calculations, as years increase, the present value and price of an investment falls.

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
