Answer:
A) a non-binding price floor
Explanation:
A non-binding price floor is a price floor set below the current equilibrium price, so it really doesn't affect either the supply or demand of the product.
A binding price ceiling will result in a shortage since it decreases quantity supplied and increases quantity demanded. Rent control is a type of binding price ceiling. A minimum wage is a type of binding price floor which results in labor supply surplus since the quantity of labor supplied will increase but the quantity of labor demanded will decrease.

Explanation:
If expecting a price deduction, you can buy Put options. These give you the right to sell an underlying stock at a certain price regardless of what the price in the market is. If you purchased this, you can sell your stock above market value if it does go down.
You can sell write call options for a fee where you give the buyer the right to buy your shares at a certain price in future. This is only valuable if prices rise so as you are expecting prices to fall, you could make a premium on the call option contract fees if prices fall without having to sell off your shares.
Hedging with puts is better than short calls if you are expecting a major stock price decline as the opportunity for profit is higher.
Answer: False
Explanation:
The contract is such that Molly agreed to bring bracelets if Jean would pay for said bracelets.
The terms of the contract therefore are that Jean would pay and Molly would deliver. Jean then calls Molly and says that they will be unable to pay which means that they are not going to be able to hold up their responsibilities in the contract.
Molly has the right to then cancel the contract because the other party will not be able to perform their obligations and face no repercussion for it.
