Lesson Three: Assignment – Short Answer/Essay ECO-FE (v.4.0) Name: Kailey Sotehou Chapter 7 discusses externalities and spillovers (p.193). These occur when a market activity impacts someone who is not a party to that transaction. Sometimes these are positive and other times they are negative.

It is simple to begin, and the more people participating in establishing this type of business, the easier it is to manage the fees. Because each partner is responsible for a portion of the work, if one fails to complete his or her part, it has an impact on the entire company. Corporation It can only be founded with the authorization of the government. The person must contact the national or state government to obtain an official government document. It raises financial capital very quickly, and because it is legal by law, it makes every employer accountable for his or her actions. They are required to pay two sets of taxes. Each employer must pay taxes, and the corporation must pay the government a percentage of its profit.
