Answer:
d. subjects
Explanation:
"Experimental research, often considered to be the “gold standard” in research designs, is one of the most rigorous of all research designs. In this design, one or more independent variables are manipulated by the researcher (as treatments), subjects are randomly assigned to different treatment levels (random assignment), and the results of the treatments on outcomes (dependent variables) are observed."

Answer:
d. Sales in Dollars February = $180353
Explanation:
The new Sales or the sales budgeted for January will be 3% higher than that for December. If December sales were of 10000 units, then the January sales will be of 10000 * 103% = 10300 units.
The budgeted sales for February will be 103% of January sales.
Budgeted sales- Feb = 10300 * 103% = 10609 units
The selling price is assumed to stay constant at $17 per stapler.
Sales in Dollar-February = 10609 * 17 = $180353
Draw the supply/demand curve. The line is above market equilibrium....the question literally states that the price rises, and since the supply curve has a positive slope (assuming unit elasticity), the supply will increase. Meanwhile, the demand curve has a negative slope (still assuming unit elasticity), so the demand for it will decrease. This will result in a surplus, aka, an excess supply.
