Answer:
Increase, Decrease
Explanation:
A decrease in the supply results in many buyers competing for very few goods. If the demand is constant, the quantity supplied and price have an indirect relationship. A decrease in the volume of supplied results in an increase in price. Many buyers will be competing for a few products causing the equilibrium price to increase.
A decrease in supply will cause the quantity available for buyers to buy to decline. Consequently, the volume purchased will be fewer. Equilibrium quantity will, therefore, decrease.

Answer:
$62,160
Explanation:
Given:
Purchase price = $300,000
Down payment = 10% of purchase price = 0.1 × $300,000 = $30,000
Thus,
the cumulative amount to be financed = $300,000 - $30,000 = $270,000
The present value of an annuity of $1 per year for 8 years at 16% = $4.3436
Now,
Annual payment
= ( Cumulative Amount financed ) / ( Cumulative PV factor at 16% for 8 years)
= $270,000 / 4.3436
= $62,160.42
≈ $62,160
