Answer:

  1. True
  2. False
  3. True

Explanation:

Carlos is indeed a free rider as he is watching the show without incurring any costs for doing so. He is therefore benefitting from the show without paying adequately for it.

The Government cannot solve the problem by taxing everyone who watches the show because some might not be free riders and instead they would be paying more. The Government can solve it in other ways however such as by privatizing the station.

Private companies can indeed solve this problem by making people watch the commercials because the companies that pay for the commercials would then pick up the cost for Carlos.

FrozenT [24]

Ethan loses his limited liability if he participates in the firm’s management.

<h3>Who is a Limited Partner?</h3>

A limited partner can be described as a part-owner of a limited partnership business who does not involve in the management of the partnership business.

The liability for the company's debts of a limited partner is limited to the amount invested in the business.

Limited partners are frequently referred to as "silent partners."

A limited partner is different from a general partner.

A general partner refers to a partner that is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the company, takes investment decisions on behalf of the company, and has unlimited liability for the company's debts and liabilities.

Therefore, Ethan will lose his limited liability if he participates in the firm’s management as he has become a general partner.
