The Gizmo Company is planning to develop new household gadgets. Table 13.4 shows the companys demand for financial capital for research and development of these gadgets, based on expected rates of return from sales. Now, say that every investment would have an additional 5 social benefit—that is, an investment that pays at least a 6 return to the Gizmo Company will pay at least an 11 return for society as a whole; an investment that pays at least 7 for the Gizmo Company will pay at least 12 for society as a whole, and so on.
