The cotton farms of Country Q became so productive that the market could not absorb all that they produced. Cosequently, cotton prices fell. The government tried to boost cotton prices by offering farmers who took 25 percent of their acreage out of production direct support payments up to a specified maximum per farm.

The government's program, if successful, will not be a net burden on the budget. Which of the following, if true, is the best basis for an explanation of how this could be so?

(A) Depressed cotton prices meant operation losses for cotton farms, and the government lost revenue from taxes on farm profits.

(B) Cotton production in several countries other than Q declined slightly the year that the support-payment program went into effect in Q.

(C) The first year that the support-payment program was in effect, cotton acreage in Q was 5 percent below its level in the base year for the program.

(D) The specified maximum per farm meant that for very large cotton farms the support payments were less per acre for those acres that were withdrawn from production than they were for smaller farms.

(E) Farmers who wished to qualify for support payments could not use the cotton acreage that waswithdrawn from production to grow any other crop.


Ans:A

請問那位朋友可以幫我解釋一下, 為何A對?
我認為政府的計劃要成功不是應該要鼓勵減少生產, 使價格提高, 進而使稅收增加來compensate for the added expenditure嗎?


麻煩大家了, 謝謝

題目問的是那 個答案選項可以合理解釋政府為何要補助農民不去耕種,而a的答案意思是如果政府不補助那些農民,那因為cotton降價將會造成政府稅收減少,政府一樣會減少財政收入,因此與其大家都受害,政府選擇補助農民,但稅收可以不會因cotton降價減少,正好乎應題目所問合理化政府所做所為
希望這能對你有所幫助

感謝您的說明

附帶再問: 若政府決定補助, 為何cotton價格還會持續下跌呢? 原題不是在說gov. tried to boost cotton prices嗎, 因此我認為在補助之下, 生產者減少生產(市場供給變小)使市價提高→生產者獲利增加→政府稅收增加足以彌補補助支出。

而A選為何能夠推出政府因而選擇去補貼呢? 您對A選的說明我可理解, 但我無法僅從A選字面上的意思去進一步推論出"政府因而選擇去補貼", 請問是否需要發揮一點想像力啊? (我這類型的題目常易做錯)

thanks

is an explaination of choice A from another side.
If the farmers don't decrease their production---the price will be boosted---farms will lose profit---the government will lose revenue

(A) Depressed cotton prices meant operating losses for cotton farms, and the government lost revenue from taxes on farm profits.
棉價若是壓低, 政府就損失了稅收, 有提到政府和棉價之間的損益關係, 正確
(main argument : 正面解釋政府的做法可以讓政府稅收維持)
(B) Cotton production in several countries other than Q declined slightly the year that the support-payment program went into effect in Q.
不是Q的幾個鄉村的棉花價格輕微地下滑了, 無法解釋
(main argument : 正面解釋政府的做法可以讓政府稅收維持)
(C) The first year that the support-payment program was in effect, cotton acreage in Q was 5% below its level in the base year for the program.
低5%, 沒有提到跟政府有關, 無關選項
(main argument : 正面解釋政府的做法可以讓政府稅收維持)
(D) The specified maximum per farm meant that for very large cotton farms the support payments were less per acre for those acres that were withdrawn from production than they were for smaller farms.
這句話不好解釋, 不過意思是說大農場和小農場相比, 補助款的錢有差, 無關選項
(main argument : 正面解釋政府的做法可以讓政府稅收維持)
(E) Farmers who wished to qualify for support payments could not use the cotton acreage that was withdrawn from production to grow any other crop.
期望去取得資格的農夫, 不能使用棉花田去種其他的作物, 無關
(main argument : 正面解釋政府的做法可以讓政府稅收維持)
