Answer:
The infant industry argument is an economic rationale for trade protectionism. The core of the argument is that nascent industries often do not have the economies of scale that their older competitors from other countries may have, and thus need to be protected until they can attain similar economies of scale.
Answer:
A) according to put call parity:
price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]
put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60
B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle
the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40

Answer:
A) The current supply will shift to the left
Explanation:
The supply curve shifts to the left when the total quantity supplied decreases, which results in a price increase at any given quantity.
If everyone expects that the football team will have a great season, the quantity demanded for tickets will increase, which will increase their price. But the suppliers will also hold to their tickets until a day or two before the games to increase expectations and fans' anxieties. That way the price will increase even more, and they will make a higher profit.
