Answer:
The quantity is likely to decrease, the change in price depends on the extent of change in demand and supply.
Explanation:
The fear of the mad cow disease lead to a reduction in the demand for beef. This caused the demand curve to move to the left.
At the same time, destruction of cattle heads ordered by the government lead to a reduction in the supply of beef. This caused the supply curve to move to the left.
This leftward shift in both demand as well as supply curve will lead to a reduction in the equilibrium quantity of beef.
The change in price of beef depends upon the extent of change in demand and supply. If both decrease by the same extent, the price will remain the same.
Answer: threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level.
Explanation:
A contestable market has competition such that sellers cannot unilaterally decide to sell at a certain price. They have to sell at a competitive price that is set by the market to ensure that goods are allocated efficiently.
If the prices attempt to rise above this competitive level, new sellers will enter the market so as to make a profit which would have the effect of driving the price back down to where it was and even lower if even more sellers come in. The price is therefore maintained to ensure that this does not happen.

Answer:
Tariff of 1832
Explanation:
The Tariff of 1832 was enacted to replace the 1828 import tariffs commonly known as Tariffs of Abomination. Most southern states did not like it, but its greatest opposition came from South Carolina since its economy depended greatly in foreign trade. Back then America's largest export was cotton produced by southern states.
Due to South Carolina's extreme opposition, it was replaced by the Compromise Tariff of 1833. This last tariff would gradually decrease the tax rates until they fell back to 1816 levels, which was approximately 20%.
The Nullification Crisis refers to a legal process carried out in South Carolina that determined that federal taxes, specifically import tariffs were unconstitutional and shouldn't apply to them. The problem is that the Supreme Court decides what is unconstitutional or not, not a state court.
