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.

Answer:
The answer is: be able to recover damages
Explanation:
In order for a Drake (the plaintiff) to be able to recover damages he must prove that he suffered an injury (economic injury in this case) by Eve's false claims.

Answer:
B) 9.1%
Explanation:
Cost of debt is the interest rate paid by a company due to borrowing money; i.e debt from investors.
$185million in debt is the face value of debt that Westford Corporation had and the $26 million dollars of interest expense is the cost of the debt in dollars;
First, find pretax cost of debt ;
Pretax cost of debt = (Interest expense / Face value of debt )*100
= (26,000,000/ 185,000,000 )*100
=0.1405 *100
= 14.05%
Next, use pretax cost of debt to find after-tax cost of debt;
After-tax cost of debt = Pretax cost of debt (1-tax)
= 14.05% *(1-0.35)
= 9.13%
Therefore, Westford's cost of debt capital is 9.1%

0 (750,000) 1 (750,000)
1 350,000 0.9259 324,065
2 325,000 0.8573 278,623
3 250,000 0.7938 198.450
4 180,000 0.7350 132,300
NPV 184,438
The correct answer is D. The difference in answers is due to rounding error.
Explanation:
Net present value is the diffrence between initial outlay and present value of inflow. We need to discount the cash inflows for year 1 to year 4 at 8% and then calculate the present value of cash inflows by multiplying the cash inflows by the discount factors. Finally, we will calculate NPV by deducting the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflows.
