Answer:
(A) The gains of the consumers from buying imports at the low price subsidized by foreign governments would exceed the losses of domestic producers. - The Unfair-Competition Argument
Some Governments subsidise production for their companies which means that their companies are able to sell goods cheaper than the producers in the countries they export to. This is considered Unfair competition.
B) Companies may exaggerate the degree to which their products are essential to national defense in order to obtain protection from foreign competition at the expense of consumers. - National-Security Argument
Some goods produced by domestic producers need to be protected for national defense purposes and sometimes some of these producers exaggerate the importance of their goods so that the Government can protect them from foreign competition thus enabling them to charge consumers higher prices.
(C) The country may be forced into deciding between implementing trade restrictions as threatened, which would make the society as a whole worse off, or backing down on its own threat, which would cause it to lose credibility in foreign affairs. - The Protection-as-a-Bargaining-Chip Argument
Sometimes a country might threaten to impose restrictions for instance the United States on China which would make things more expensive for Americans and if they do not then it would look like China won the argument which would make the US lose face.
(D) Opening up to free trade may impose hardship on some workers in the short run, but it also creates jobs in industries in which the country has a comparative advantage and enables the country as a whole to enjoy a higher standard of living. - The Jobs Argument
David Ricardo's Comparative Advantage principle believes that free trade will lead to more jobs in the country because the country will be able to properly harness those goods it is better at producing.
The given rebuttals address the Unfair-Competition Argument, the National-Security Argument, the Protection-as-a-Bargaining-Chip Argument, and the Jobs Argument in the debate over Restricting trade.
In this question, the student is asked to identify which arguments for restricting trade each of the given rebuttals is directed against. Here are the answers:

The total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of Bayport is ($ ).
Therefore, fireworks (would/would not) pass the cost-benefit analysis in the town of Bayport.
The mayor of Bayport proposes to decide by majority rule and, if the fireworks referendum passes, to split the cost equally among all residents.
Who would vote in favor of the fireworks referendum? Check all that apply.
Darnell
Eleanor
Jacques
Answer:
Thus, option b and c are correct.
Explanation:
Suppose that there are two towns. Each town has three members to put on a fireworks display. The cost of fireworks is $300.
Find the total benefits of the fireworks display to the town of B.
Total benefit = value to Darnell + value to eleanor + value to Jacques
= 70+90+150 =$310
Thus, total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of B is $310.
Since the total benefits to the persons is greater than the total costs, therefore, fireworks would pass the cost- benefits analysis in the town of B.
The mayor of B said to spilt the cost among all the residents. Each of the residents will bear s $100 ($300/3).
Darnell and Eleanor will not vote for this because cost to them is more than the value to them. Remaining Jacques
will vote for this because cost to him is less than the value to him for this.
Thus, Jacques will vote in favor of this.
Thus, option c is correct.
Therefore, vote would not yield the same answer as the cost-benefit analysis.
Find the total benefits of the fireworks display to the town of RH.
Total benefit = value to kyoko + value to Musashi + value to Rina
= 50 +110+ 120 = $280
Thus, total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of RH is $280.
Since the total benefits to the persons is less than the total costs, therefore, fireworks would not pass the cost- benefits analysis in the town of RH.
The mayor of RH said to spilt the cost among all the residents. Each of the residents will bear $100 &$300/3).
Kyoko will not vote for this because cost to them is more than the value to them. Remaining Musashi and Rina will vote for this because cost to him is less than the value to him for this.Thus, Musashi and Rina will vote in favor of this.
Thus, option b and c are correct.
Therefore, vote would not yield the same answer as the cost-benefit analysis.

Flexible Budget Performance Report for the year ended December 31
Flexible Actual Variance
Budget Budget
Sales unit 21,000 26,900 5,900 units F
Sales revenue $645,600 $595,600 $50,000 U
Variable costs 80,700 114,000 33,300 U
Fixed costs 141,000 133,000 8,000 F
Total costs $221,700 $247,000 $25,300 U
Profit $423,900 $348,600 $75,300 U
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Flexible Budget for 21,000 units
Sales revenue = $504,000
Variable cost = $63,000
Fixed costs = $141,000
Flexing the budget with 26,900 units:
Sales revenue = $645,600 ($504,000/21,000 * 26,900)
Variable costs = $80,700 ($63,000/21,000 * 26,900)
