Answer:

B

Explanation:

First, a monopoly produce less than the socially efficient quantity because as the figure shows, the quantity produced is determined by the intersection between the marginal cost curve (MC) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) and not by the intersection between the MC and the demand. For instance, there is a deadweight loss (shown by the figure).

Second, equilibrium price is always higher than in a competitive market because is always higher than the MC. The price is determined by the equilibrium quantity (found before) and the demand. Also, there are barries to entry and so monopolist have always price control.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

D. Any of the above, depending on the transactions​

Explanation:

The double entry principle simply means that any accounting transaction has two records: one credit, and one debit, and it depends on the nature of the transaction, and of the accounts involved which specific value is credited and which one is debited.

For example, if a firm purchases 100$ of office supplies with cash, the credited account is cash, because cash is reduced by $100, while the office supplies account is debited by the same value.

If a firm sells 100$ of office supplies instead, the office supplies inventory is credited for this value, while the same amount of cash is debited for this same amount.

Since the sugar sweetened sodas is treated as a normal goods. Moreover, people can substitute the other goods also if there is an increase in a price of the good

The -7,500 is come from = (-75,000 × 0.10)

The options are as follows

(a) Greater than -$15k because soda is a luxury good with income (b) -$15k because that is the old consumption level times the value of the tax (c) Between -S7.5k and -$15k because soda is a luxury good elasticity > 1 with income elasticity >1 (d) Between -$7.5k arti -$15k because residents can substitute to other products (e) -$7.5k because that is the new consumption level times the value of the tax ()-$7.5k because that is the change in consumption times the value of the tax (g) Between 0 and -S7.5k because residents can substitute to other products (h) Between 0 and -$7.5k because because beverages are typically necessity goods with 6) Nothing because there was no effect on income G) It is impossible to say without knowing consumers' marginal rate of substitution income elasticity less than 1
