- In such a free economy, demand for goods and services are not controlled.
- The consumers behavior towards purchasing will determine if producers should allocate more resources to a production process or not.

Answer: $12477.27
Explanation:
The formula to find the compound amount after t years (compounded semiannually) :-

Given : Principal amount : P = $ 8,000
Rate of interest : 
Time : 9 years
Now, 

The final amount in the account will be $12477.27
Answer:
The student invests $60 each month and the interest rate is 6%. The interest rate is compounded monthly so we will take the interest rate as 0.5% (6/12).
The number of periods will be 420 (35*12) as the payments are made every month.
The present value is 0 as he is not making any investment at the start.
We need to find the future value of these payments, and for that we need to put these values in a financial calculator
PV= 0
PMT= 60
I= 0.5
N=420
Compute FV
FV=85,482
The total accumulated amount in the students annuity will be $85,482.

Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
The most effective model to understand the effect of change of a variable on other variable is by assuming other factors to be constant. This simplifies the model and helps in easily understanding the relationship between the two variables.
Though the assumption of other things being constant does not apply in the real world, it is still used as otherwise change in other factors would complicate the model. If several factors change it would be difficult to understand the relationship between variables.
Here, to study the effect of change in the price of grapes on the market for wine, it is necessary to assume other factors such as income, consumer preferences, etc to be constant.
