Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

An increase in the cost of fishing will lead to a decrease in the supply of fishes. This happens because the suppliers will be able to supply less at the same cost.  

So the supply curve will move to the left. This leftward shift in the supply curve will cause the equilibrium price to increase and the equilibrium quantity to decrease.  

All the other options would have caused the equilibrium quantity to increase either through increased demand or increased supply.

Opening inventory=Cost of goods sold+closing inventory-purchases

melisa1 [442]

168,000 is amount of the gain is Ethan allowed to exclude from his gross income

Solution:

Ethan's post 2009 non-qualified use is 2 years.

He owned the property for 10 years so he is not allowed to exclude 20% of the gain

= $210,000 × 20% = $42,000

He is allowed to exclude = ($210,000 - $42,000)

                                          = $168,000

Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. increase; decrease.

Explanation:

Speculation consists of the purchase (or sale) of goods with a view to their subsequent resale (repurchase), when the reason for such action is the expectation of a change in the prices affected with respect to the dominant price and not the gain derived from its use, or of some kind of transformation carried out on these or of the transfer between different markets.

A speculative operation seeks not to enjoy the good or service involved, but to obtain a benefit from the price fluctuation based on the theory of arbitration. In an extensive sense, every form of investment that a medium entails is speculative; However, the term is usually applied to that investment that does not entail any kind of commitment to the management of the assets in which it is invested, and is limited to the movement of capital (financial market), usually in the short or medium term.

The speculation is based on the forecast and the perception, so that the speculator can also be wrong if he does not correctly anticipate the evolution of future prices, so he will have to sell cheap something he bought expensive. The speculative market therefore rewards those who know how to predict.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Liquor consumers

Explanation:

Price elasticity measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a great effect on quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is usually greater than 1.

Demand is inelastic if changes in price has little or no impact on the quantity demanded. Coefficient of elasticity is usually less than 1.

The elasticity of demand for liquor is -0.4 while the elasticity of supply for liquor is 3.5. Therefore the demand for liquor is inelastic while the supply of liquor is elastic.

If taxes are imposed on consumers, the quantity demanded wouldn't change or change a little.

If taxes are imposed on suppliers, the quantity supplied would fall more.

Therefore , the burden of tax can be passed on more to consumers.

I hope my answer helps you.
