Answer to Question 1

Most social capital is in the form of roads, transit systems, fire services, police services, water, and sewer systems. All businesses use some combination of these services to conduct their business. For example, when transportation systems are inadequate, labor may be prevented from producing goods and services, or goods and services may be prevented from being sold. Either scenario will reduce a firm's overall profits by reducing quantity sold and therefore total revenue.
