<span>Your second sentence is indeed the claim, "A maker of frozen meals claim that the average caloric content of its meals Is not 400."
Now you can talk about your null and alternative hypotheses (H0 and Ha respectively). Since your null must contain an equals sign it will be H0 = 400. Your alternative will be testing the claim and therefor read Ha ≠400</span>

Answer:
Apples supply increase imply new equilibrium at lower price, higher quantity. Demand downwards expansion on the curve itself is due to lower price. 
Explanation:
Market is at equilibrium where Market Demand = Market Supply, & downward sloping  demand curve intersects upward sloping demand curve. 
If supply of apples increase & supply curve shifts rightwards, there is Excess Supply at previous equilibrium. Excess Supply creates competition among sellers, reduces new market price. 
At lower price, demand expands & supply contratcs. New Equilibrium quantity is higher where new (rightwards shifted) supply curve intersects demand curve. 
Quantity demanded increases (expands - downwards movement on demand curve) due to lower price, despite of no change in demand. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
First National Bank    = 14.6%
First United Bank.=   = 14.8%
Explanation:
<em>Effective annual rate is the equivalent annual rate o where interest rate is compounded at an interval shorter than a year.</em>
It can be calculated as follows:
EAR = ( (1+r)^(n) -1) × 100
r -interest rate per period 
n- number of period 
EAR - Effective annual rate 
First National Bank
r - interest rate per month = 13.7%/12 = 1.141%
number of period = 12 months
EAR =( (1+011141)^(12) - 1) × 100
        =  0.145938395 × 100
        = 14.59
        = 14.6%
 First United Bank.
r- interest rate per quarter - 14%/4 = 3.5% per quarter
n- number of quarters = 4
EAR = ((1+0.035)^(4)- 1) × 100
       = 0.147523001 × 100
       = 14.8%
