Charles has to turn in a paper by the end of the week

Marketing Dec 26, 2020

Charles has to turn in a paper by the end of the week. He has plenty of free time to do the work, but instead he spends that time playing Fortnite. Charles asks Charlotte a student from another section of the same class-to let him see her paper. He says it is so he can "get an idea of what is expected." Without Charlotte knowing it, Charles copies large parts of her paper. Is Charles a free rider, forced rider, or neither?

a) Free rider,

b) Forced rider,

c) Neither,

d) Impossible to know.

Expert Solution

a) Free rider

Since Charles has not invested any of his resources in the completion of that paper. He has not borne any monetary costs, time, and so on. He has completed his work from the assignment of Charlotte. So, he would be considered as a free rider in this scenario.
