The pany has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact. Thus, some environmentalists conclude that Tropicorp has not acted wholly out of economic selfinterest. However, these environmentalists are probably wrong. The initial investment required for a successful rubbertapping operation is larger than that needed for a cattle ranch. Furthermore, there is a shortage of workers employable in rubbertapping operations, and finally, taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching.In the economist’s argument, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?A.
