Answer:
1. The elasticity of demand for movie tickets must be INELASTIC.
2. Demand curves become LESS elastic in the long run. This means that the ticket price increase will likely be MORE profitable in the long run.
Explanation:
1. As demand is inelastic, the percentage of price increase will be greater than the decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded, and consequently profit will increase.
2. In the long term, demand becomes inelastic. Consequently, in the long term the percentage of the price increase will continue to be greater than the percentage of decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: Contract manufacturing.
Explanation:
Contract manufacturing is the outsourcing of some production activities that were formerly done by the producer to a third party. An organization may outsource certain parts for a product.
Contract manufacturing is the practice of giving out part of a work to outside sources rather than completing all the work within the company. It results in lower expenses and costs. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
3 cases
Explanation:
Marginal product refers to change in the total output when an additional input is employed. For example, output is 5 units when 2 laborers are employed. When another unit of input i.e 3rd laborer is employed, the output rises to 9 units. In this case marginal product of the 3rd unit of labor would be 9 - 5 i.e 4 units.
In the given case, before Atul is hired, the production was 4 cases per week. After his being hired, it rose to 7 cases per week. Thus Atul's marginal product in the given case would be 7 - 4 i.e 3 cases.
 
        
             
        
        
        
All of the following statements are true with regard to qualifying business losses EXCEPT: Qualifying losses from 2017 were carried forward to the taxpayer's 2018 tax return. 
Explanation:
The loss would reduce any other eligible income of the applicant for the current year. An investor shall recover the QBI from various trades or businesses, including damages.
Upon deduction of all qualified company gains for the current year, the excess of the income shall be rolled forward to the next tax year. The unfavorable balance shall be shifted into the next fiscal year.
 If the loss was incurred after 2018, the excluded or lost element is included in QBI and would otherwise be included in QBI, but is included in taxable income not until the year.
