Factors such as price and production costs help determine the market supply curve.
Most states impose sales tax on some goods and services as a means of generating revenue. However, sales taxes also influence consumer behavior. These influences, along with the basic financial impact of sales tax, are evident on supply and demand curves when sales tax rates increase or a state imposes a new sales tax.

Additionally, when taxes are applied to goods that consumers purchase, they are spending more for individual items. This means that many consumers must weigh their opportunity costs and decide between items to purchase

DrexlerDrexler had no stock transactions in 20182018, so the change in stockholders' equity for 20182018 was due to net income

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Drexler's net income for 2018 was $300,000.

Explanation:

Assuming the following asset and liability figures for Drexler (missing in the question):

On 31 December 2017:

Total assets $330,000

Total liabilities $25,000

On 31 December 2018:

Total assets $560,000

Total liabilities $35,000

Hence, during the year 2018:

Increase in total assets = $560,000 - $330,000 = $230,000

Increase in total liabilities = $35,000 - $25,000 = $10,000

According to the accounting equation:

Capital = Assets - Liabilities

Hence, Change in Capital = Change in Assets - Change in Liabilities

= $230,000 - $10,000

= $220,000

According to the statement of retained earnings:

Change in stockholders' equity (i.e. capital) = Net income - Dividends

$220,000 = Net income - $80,000

Net income = $220,000 + $80,000

Net income = $300,000

you own $750000 worth of stock, and you are worried the price may fall by year-end in 6 months. you are considering

timofeeve [1]

Answer: D. I, II, and III

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.
