 <span>a) If energy prices go up, manufacturing costs go up, which ultimately increases the price of the notebook. This will also most likely lead to a decrease in quantity, as the manufacturing cost per unit is higher. This is a supply determinant. 

b) In theory, the subsidy reduces the cost per unit to the manufacturer, which increases supply and often reduces price, again being a supply-side determinant. In reality, it creates an incentive for notebook manufacturers to keep doing what they are doing, disincentivizing cost-saving developments and alternatives. Why innovate when you can get free government cheese? 
Anyway, supply determinant. 

c) The price of an inferior good increasing tends to push some demand for superior goods, especially when the income to cost of good ratio remains the same for the inferior good but gets better for the superior one. Demand determinant. </span>

Regarding the overall effect of negative interest rates on the economy, economists
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The effect of negative interest rates on the economy is reflected in option D:  negative interest rates simply cannot happen in reality.  Answer D is the correct response.

Explanation:

Answer C is partially correct.  In reality, experiments are running on economies as today:  Greece economy.  After a huge recession in previous years, the Government has released bonuses that, at the end of their effective period, will be charging people for actually buy them, and not paying them back.  This leads us to answer D: negative interest rates can actually happen, but they cannot exist as an economic mechanism that develops the economy:  customers will go for profit, not cost.  

The effect of this model is negative on the economy since it will not provide enough resources for stimulation.  Also, it will not slow it down since it is not expected that an instrument with negative interest rates will be accepted, in the form of bonuses, by customers; or loans, provided by banks.
