55.







The cotton farms of Country Q became so productive that the market could not absorb all that they produced.Consequently, cotton prices fell.The government tried to boost cotton prices by offering farmers who took 25 percent of their cotton 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 operating 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% 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per farm meant that for very large cotton farms the support payments were less per acre for those acres that were withdrawn from production than they were for smaller farms.




(E) Farmers who wished to qualify for support payments could not use the cotton acreage that was withdrawn from production to grow any other crop.

IMO, I vote for A.

Because the farmers receiving the support payments will take 25% of their cotton acreage out of production, then there will be less cotton produced, the cotton price may climb up. The cotton farms will recover their operating incomes, eventually, more taxes will be available for the government. In other word, the government will gain more revenues.

意思是  反正价格低 政府税收是肯定减少的 还不如你们种少点 我给你们补偿 这样对大家都有好处  政府给补偿 但是因为价格上升税收上升 因此对budget 没有影响
