Explanation:

a) A free market would allow the laws of demand and supply to flourish; prices of commodities will be set by manufacturers based on demand. However, Government regulations which interfere with the free market is going to result in feeling the pain of monopoly.

b) Indeed, the price mechanism when controlled by the government can result in efficient provision of public goods.

One such example of a public good ls PMS (premium motor spirit) used as petrol in most vehicles. Controlling the price of petrol by the government in most cases helps avoid excessive charges from petrol stations per pump price.

An issuer has filed a registration statement in the state proposing to offer 500,000 shares in a combined primary and secondary
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

b. 300,000 shares being sold is an issuer transaction and the 200,000 shares being sold is a non-issuer transaction.

Explanation:

A non-issuer transaction is a transaction that does not directly benefit an issuer or it was not directly executed to benefit an issuer.

According to the Uniform State Law, an entity involved in the sales of certificates of interest, leases, mining titles among others is officially exempted from being labelled as an issuer. Hence, the entity (officers of the firm) in the question are non-issuer brokers.

Specifically, when the sales of stock are carried out by someone or an individual who is not a registered stockbroker, that individual officially becomes what is called 'a non-issuer broker-dealer'. The implication is that such a transaction is to be exempted from the registration requirements of the Security Exchange Commission.

In this question, since the issuer newly issued 300,000 shares while the remaining 200,000 in the proposed combination was offered by Officers of the firm - non-issuer broker-dealers. The Law states that it must be separated to show that 300,000 shares are sold in an issuer transaction (Primary) directly involving an official issuer while 200,000 shares are sold in a non-issuer transaction (Secondary).
