Answer:
a) decrease in equilibrium price and an increase in equilibrium quantity.
Explanation:
As the input cost decreases for the companies the the supply of the goods increases hence the supply curve shifts rightwards.In the curve at the new equilibrium point the equilibrium price decreases and the equilibrium quantity increases.
Think it like if cost of creating anything is decreased for a company then the company will create more products .So there will be more products in the market.So to clear the products in the market the price will be reduced and the quantity of the product is more than before.

But the broker must also act honestly with the buyer, if the broker closes a deal using dishonest or unfair practices, e.g. forging documents, then the buyer might claim damages from both the broker and the seller.
And of course the broker should also make sure that his/her own rights are respected and his/her work is properly paid.
Answer:
A. 6.75%
Explanation:
In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $1,021.16
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35
NPER = 13 years × 2 = 26 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the pretax cost of debt is 6.75% (3.38% × 2)
