Suppose a recent and widely circulated medical article reports new benefits of exercise. Simultaneously, the price of the parts

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Equilibrium quantity increases; Equilibrium price is indeterminate.

Explanation:

If a new article reports that there are many benefits of exercise, this will increase the demand for exercise bikes and shifts the demand curve rightwards.

At the same time, there is a fall in the price of parts of exercise bikes which reduces the cost of production of exercise bikes. Now, the producer will be able to produce more exercise bikes, so the supply of exercise bikes increases and shifts the supply curve rightwards.

Therefore, there is an increase in the equilibrium quantity of exercise bikes and the impact on equilibrium price is indeterminate because that will be dependent upon the magnitude of the shift of demand and supply curve.

What is important to know about yourself when making a career choice?

yaroslaw [1]

It’s important to know your limits and your strengths.
The goal is to do your best in the job you have, so before making that important choice, it’s good to think about maybe your talents or hobbies that you have.
You could ask yourself questions such as:

Do I communicate well with people?

What am I best at?

Am I able to fulfill the tasks that are included in this career?

And I’m sure there are more questions, but it is a good thing to know yourself that way when you apply for a job, you know what you’re getting into.

I hope this helps!
