The Internet service provider CableWeb is spending billions of dollars to expand its network to meet the growing demand for Internet service. CableWeb cannot raise subscription rates to pay for this expansion, or else many of its subscribers will switch to competing service providers. Thus, to generate funds for this expansion, CableWeb plans to require payments from owners of commercial Web sites each time a CableWeb subscriber accesses those sites. In order to evaluate how likely CableWeb's planned required payments will be to generate funds for expansion, it would be most helpful to know which of the following? A. To what extent owners of commercial Web sites depend on revenues generated from consumers who access their sites via CableWeb’s services B. How many Internet service providers competing with CableWeb are also expanding their networks to meet the growing demand for Internet service C. By what methods other than demanding payments from owners of commercial Web sites CableWeb could feasibly pay to expand its network D. How CableWeb's subscription rates currently compare with those of its main competitors E. Whether any CableWeb subscribers would be willing to pay a fee each time they access a commercial Web site
In a cap-and-trade emissions regime, the government specifies a limit, or cap, for the emissions permitted a given company based on its recent and present emissions. A company that can find a way to emit less greenhouse gases than its emission allowance can then trade—that is, sell—the balance to other less efficient companies provided it documents its cap-and-trade activities. The desire to make such profits—as well as to avoid paying the fines associated with exceeding one's cap—would create financial incentives for all companies to lower their emissions. Which of the following, if it were made part of the proposed emissions regime as described in the passage, would most help to eliminate a possible loophole? A. The countries with the least developed economies should be free to make their own decisions as to whether to implement the plan. B. A government agency would issue a report each year of activity in the cap-and-trade market. C. Companies that do not wish to reduce their emissions would have to purchase pollution credits from other less polluting companies. D. Companies that increased their emissions in the two years immediately preceding the plan's implementation would not thereby earn more favorable caps. E. The value of pollution credits would fluctuate in accordance with the laws of supply and demand.
