Full question:
In some states and localities, scalping is against the law although enforcement is spotty
A. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a weakly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets.
B. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a strongly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets
Answer and Explanation:
A. For the first scenario, a weakly enforced antiscalping law would still allow the resale of tickets as it is not enforced properly. Therefore it's effect on price would remain as though there were no laws restricting scalping( scalping: price increase created by artificial shortage and bulk resale of tickets) . See the attached diagram for the supply and demand curve and price increase as a result of a weak antiscalping law
B. For the second scenario, scalping has no effect on price as antiscalping laws are strong and therefore there is no scalping. Price remains the same and does not change.
In diagram A for first scenario price increases from p1 to p2 and quantity decreases from q1 to q2 to indicate increase in price and quantity decrease for shortage respectively. This shows the effect of scalping on the market with weak antiscalping laws
In diagram B, price and quantity remain the same to show strong antiscalping laws

Answer:
Explanation:
On January we collect the 85,000 from revenues and the 12,00 form marketable securities.
Then, we add up each disbursement:
Materials 50000
Labor 30000
Overhead (net of depreciation) 19,500
Selling and administrative 15000
Total 114,500
Then we solve for the cash balance and get the blaance as it is higher than 20,000 we do not need financing
Then, this value is the beginning cash for February. As the ending balance is 14,000 we will take 6,000 financing to reach the bare minimum of 20,000
