Why the author uses"be resulted in" in this sentence
Here is the passages: "Ted Irwin, president of the Northwest Geological Laboratory and director of the Northwest Geological Institute, informed Hasz the Quahog is worth roughly $600. Similar pearls are typically native to the New England area, and Irwin told ABC the chances of finding one are "one in a couple million."Not only was the pearl a nice find for Hasz, it's resulted in a business boom for the restaurant. The owners told ABC customers are coming in and ordering the frutti di mare with hopes of finding another exotic gem."
Can we use "be resulted in" ? In"it's resulted in a business boom for the restaurant. ", why shouldn't we use "it results in a business boom" here?

Remember that --'s can mean "is" or "has". In this case it means "has".
"it's resulted in a business boom" = it has created a business boom ; it has given the restaurant a lot of business

The verb tenses always need to match. The pearl was a nice find, so it has increased business. You could also say that it has been increasing business.
