Answer:

c. producers

Explanation:

Since it is given in the question that the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic but the price elastic of supply is relatively inelastic but if the excise tax is imposed on the goods so the greater burden of the tax would be on the producers as the supply is inelastic so the producers could not changed much but if we compare to the consumers, the consumer could change the demand more than before due to the elastic in demand.

So, the correct option is c.

Answer: short selling  

                                 

Explanation: In simple words, short selling refers to the process in which an individual borrows stock from its holder with the promise of giving it back after a specific time and at a specific price, after borrowing he or she sells the stock at the current market price and expects that the price of stock will decrease in future.

The borrower then purchases the stock at a lower price and gives it back to the lender with the margin profit in his or her pocket. Short selling works like a speculation but only market experts do such activity due to high risk involved.

Such processes are of high value to the market as they result in creation of liquidity.

Current sales is taken as 80,000 units instead of 84,000 units.

Answer:

Goshford Company

If Goshford Company accepts the offer to sell additional 21,000 units at the reduced price of $75.00 per unit, the combined total net income is:

$5,445,500.

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Monthly production capacity = 105,000 units

Current sales = 80,000 units

Regular unit selling price = $146

Regular sales revenue = $11,680,000 ($146 * 80,000)

Special order selling price = $75.00

Special order quantity = 21,000

Special order sales revenue = $1,575,000 ($75 * 21,000)
