Answer:
The elasticity of supply for hot cocoa is 1.43.
(D) Supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa
Explanation:
Using the midpoint formula,
Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = (change in quantity supplied/average quantity supplied) ÷ (change in price/average price)
change in quantity supplied = 101 - 31 = 70
average quantity supplied = (101+31)/2 = 66
70/66 = 1.06
change in price = 9.75 - 4.5 = 5.25
average price = (9.75+4.5)/2 = 7.125
5.25/7.125 = 0.74
Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = 1.06 ÷ 0.74 = 1.43. The supply for hot cocoa is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.
Elasticity of supply for coffee = (73 - 31)/(73+31)/2 ÷ 0.74 = 42/52 ÷ 0.74 = 0.81 ÷ 0.74 = 1.09. The supply for coffee is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.
However, supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa because the elasticity of supply for coffee is less than that of hot coffee.

Answer:
$500 gain and $185 tax
Explanation:
Sale of share = No. of NQOs × No. of shares × Selling price per share
= 10 × 10 × $20
= $2,000
Basis = No. of NQOs × No. of shares × share price @$15
= 10 × 10 × $15
= $1,500
Gain realised = Sale of share - Basis
= $2,000 - $1,500
= $500
The tax is calculated as follows:
= Gain realised × marginal tax rate
= $500 × 37%
= $185
