Answer:
The equilibrium price will increase
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is defined as the price at which the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal.
At this point there is no excess demand or supply, they are both equal.
I'm the given scenario the new rice diet that is being marketed in the U.S. as a cure for cancer will lead to increase in demand for rice.
While a flood that affects the rice crop in California will reduce the ability of suppliers to supply. Leading to reduced quantities supplied to the market.
This results in increased prices for the now scarce rice in the economy
It is illustrated in the attached diagram where price increases from P1 to P2.
The new equilibrium quantity is Q1

Answer: 4 years
Explanation:
First find the amount Rula borrowed from her hometown bank:
= Price of car - Down payment
= 15,000 - 2,000
= $13,000
The amount that Rula is to pay is an annuity. The loan is the present value of that annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity
13,000 = 4,280 * Present value interest factor of annuity
Present value interest factor of annuity = 13,000 / 4,280
= 3.0373
Use an annuity table to find out the year that 12% as a discount rate intersects with, such that the present value of interest factor of annuity is 3.0373.
That number is:
= 4 years
