vekshin1

Answer:

Both of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

Positive externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties exceeds its cost.

Activities that generate positive externality are

1. Education

2. Research and development

To encourage activities that have positive externality, government can subsidise such activities. Subsidies makes the activity cheaper and incentivise people to carry out such activities.

Market forces may lead to an underallocation of resources to producing the good. Therefore, the government might intervene in the allocation of the resources to increase efficiency.

I hope my answer helps you.

those people who own the mode of production are typically of than laborers. group of answer choices a lower class the same class
hoa [83]

Those people who own the mode of production are typically of higher class than laborers.

In the Marxist theory of historical materialism, a mode of production refers to a specific combination of the productive forces, which tend to  include the human labour power, and another one is the social and technical relations of production.

So, here Marx says that a person's productive ability and his participation in  the social relations are known to be the two essential characteristics of social reproduction. Thus, those people who tend to own the mode of production are typically of the higher class than the laborers.

Hence, option C is correct.

Sale:-  Instalment Receivables  $5,000,000  

         Inventory                                               $3,200,000
