Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive industry is producing 30,000 yachts per year.

The government imposed a tax of $20,000 on each yacht.

The demand for yachts is highly elastic.

This imposition of tax will create a tax wedge in which the tax burden will be shared between buyers and sellers.

The price paid by the buyers will increase. While the price received by sellers will decrease.

This tax wedge causes the quantity demanded and quantity supplied to fall. As a result, the equilibrium quantity in the market declines.

Since the demand is highly elastic an increase in price will cause the quantity demanded to decrease by more than proportionate.

The price of the product will increase by less than $20,000 as the tax burden will be shared.

Andru [333]

Answer:

B. large amount of natural resources

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is a country's ability to produce a product or service for a lower opportunity cost than rival countries.  Opportunity costs are the benefits given up in the extraction process. If a  country has a large amount of natural resources, it will use fewer resources in the extraction process than other countries. The trade-off costs will be so little compared to the benefits.

Other countries will find it cheaper to import from a country with large natural resources. For example, oil-rich nations have a comparative advantage in the extraction and processing of oil and oil by-products.
