Answer:

an increase in the price of soccer balls.

Explanation:

Soccer balls are made of polyethylene and other petroleum oil derivates. An increase in the price of oil will lead to increased price of soccer balls, because the raw material price has gone up.

Kayaks also have raw materials derived from oil that is why they are experiencing a rise in price.

Kayaks and soccer balls will have a directly proportional relationship due to their common raw material source- oil.

arlik [135]

In the bond market if the government imposes a limit on the amount of daily transactions, liquidity of bonds relative to other assets will​ decrease, increasing the interest rate and lowering​ bond's prices.

In the bond market various debt instruments are bought and sold by a variety of entities. In the bond market, corporations and governments issue bonds in order to raise debt capital to fund operations or seek growth opportunities.

If the government imposes a limit on the amount of daily transactions in the bond market, then bonds will become less liquid with respect to alternative assets, by also lowering​ bond's prices and increasing the interest rate.

Hence, bonds are issued by governments and corporations when they want to raise money.
