I thought taxes wouldn't affect sales much, but I guess they do!

Historically, taxes lead to lower sales, so B is right.

Wait, how can sales double with a tax hike? That seems off.

Wait, could it be that sales remain the same? I think there are exceptions, but I can't recall any specific examples.

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and the answer was that sales would decrease due to the tax hike.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about how higher taxes can make products more expensive, which might push sales down.

I think if the government increases taxes on a product, it usually leads to a decrease in sales, right? That sounds familiar.

I feel pretty good about this one. Increasing the tax should make the product more expensive, so consumers will likely buy less of it. The sales should decrease, so I'm selecting B.

Okay, let me try to reason this out. If the government increases the tax, that means the price to the consumer goes up. And when prices go up, typically demand and sales go down. So I'm going to go with B for this one.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know that taxes can affect demand, but I'm not confident which way the sales would go. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward economics question. I think the answer is B - the sales should decrease if the government increases the tax on the product.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about the benefits of a LAN-free/serverless backup solution. I'm pretty sure the correct answer has to do with not needing backup servers.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Does that mean R5 will prefer to use the Gigabit Ethernet link to reach R4, or will the other routers prefer to use R5 as the next hop to reach R4?

Depends on elasticity, but usually demand drops. So, B makes sense.
