Answer & Explanation:
1. A steel tariff increases the price of steel : Increase in of 'Price of inputs' - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve
2. Improvement in robotics increase efficiency & reduces costs : Upgradation of 'technology'- increases (rightward shifts) supply curve
3. Factories close because of am economic downturn : 'Number of sellers' reduce - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve.
4. The price of trucks falls, so factories produce more cars : Decrease in 'price of related goods' - increases (rightward shifts) supply curve.
5. The government announces a plan to offer tax rebates for the purchase of commuter rail tickets : 'Expectations' regarding rise in relative price of cars - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve.
6. The government announces that it will dramatically rewrite efficiency standards, making it much harder for automakers to produce their cars : 'Goverment policy' stringency - decreases (leftwards shifts) supply curve.
Answer:
b. 8.225%
Explanation:
The rate formula will be used to solve this question.
Please note that the NPER represents the time value.
Where;
Present value is $754.08
Let's assume that the face value is $1,000
PMT= 1,000 x 7.25% ÷2
=$36.25
NPER= 9 years x 2
= 18 years
The formulae is therefore
Rate(NPER,PMT,-,PV,FV)
The value of the present value is negative.
a. The pretax would therefore be 11.75%
b. After tax cost of debt would be ;
Pretax cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)
11.75% x (1 - 30%)
11.75% x (1 - 0.03)
=8.225%.

Answer:
see below
Explanation:
A positive correlation signifies that an increase in one variable results in the other variable moving in the same direction. Because supply and price are positively correlated, a price increase will increases supply. The opposite is also true.
Suppliers are business people whose main objective is to make profits. Higher prices give higher margins. Suppliers make higher profits when prices are high. The possibility of making higher profits motivates suppliers to increase supplies to the market. On the other hand, low prices may result in losses. When prices are low, supplies will shy away from the market to avoid making losses.
