Answer:
A) market interest rates are high and falling
Explanation:
Bonds and interest rates have an indirect relationship. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall.
Bonds pay interests on a fixed rate. When market interest rates are rising, investors will prefer investing in other options due their high return as opposed to the fixed returns from bonds. Bonds become less attractive, leading to a decline in prices.
Buying Bonds when the interests are rising means buying at a cheaper rate. When interest rates start falling, bond prices will rise again due to their inverse relationship.
Capital gains occur when an investment is bought at a lower price and sold at a higher price. Buying bonds when interests rate is high and selling when interests are low will lead to capital gains.
The formula is
I=prt
I interest paid 1120
p principle 32000
T time 4/12
R annual percentage interest rate?
Solve for r
R=I÷pt
R=1,120÷(32,000×(4÷12))
R=0.105×100
R=10.5%

Answer:
b. cannot test his theory because his observations violate the ceteris paribus assumption
Explanation:
As per the law of supply, when price of an input rises, quantity supplied of a good falls, keeping other factors affecting supply as constant (ceteris paribus).
Leather and Shoes are complimentary goods in the sense that leather serves as an input for the product i.e shoes. So if the price of leather rises, production of shoes would fall, keeping other factors constant.
When the price of an input rises, the quantity supplied falls, keeping other factors affecting supply as constant.
In the given case, the price of inputs has increased and yet the production of shoes has increased owing to an advancement in the technology. Technology is a different determinant of quantity supplied and considered as an other factor affecting supply.
