<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>
Answer: <u><em>Depreciation for the first year = 17825</em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
Machine purchased for $125,000
Salvage value of $10,000
Output = 100,000
First year of operation, Output = 15500
First, we'll evaluate depreciation per unit over the entire life of the machine:
i.e. 
Depreciation per unit = 
<em>Depreciation per unit = 1.15</em>
Now, we'll compute the depreciation for the first year:
Depreciation for the first year = Depreciation per unit × Output (first year)
Depreciation for the first year = 1.15 × 15500
<u><em>Depreciation for the first year = 17825</em></u>

Answer:
6.21%
Explanation:
Discount of the bond can be calculated by subtracting the purchase price of the bond from the face value. Discount Yield is the ratio of discount on the bond to the future value of the bond.
Discount Yield = [(F - P)/F] x [360/t]
Where
F = Face Value = $1,000 ( assumed)
P = Present value = $1,000 x 97.5% = $975
t = 145 days
Placing the value in the formula
Discount Yield = [($1,000 - $975)/$1,000] x [360/145] = 0.0621 = 6.21%
