The factor that would shift demand is the reduction in the price of laptops.
The equilibrium price and quantity would decrease.
<h3>What is the result of the policy?</h3>
When the price of laptops are reduced, the quantity demand for laptops would increase while the demand for computers would fall. This is because computers and laptops are substitute goods.
As a result of a fall in the demand for computers, the demand curve would shift to the left. Equilibrium price and quantity would fall.

Answer: The cost for a 4 oz portion is 20$
Explanation:
Given : Cost of 5kg pail = 16.95$
To find : Cost of a 4 oz prtion = ?
Conversion factor : 1 kg = 35.274 oz
Thus cost of 35.274 oz = 176.37$
Then cost of 4oz =
$
Thus cost for a 4 oz portion is 20$
Answer: Input Prices have increased.
Explanation:
When an Economy sees prices rising but at the same time productivity is falling, the likely cause of that is an increase in Input prices.
Input Prices are the prices of the raw materials and other goods needed to produce finished goods. If these prices should rise, it becomes more expensive for producers to produce and they will therefore reduce the amount of goods they produce. This reduction in Quantity leads to an increase win prices because according to the Law of Supply and Demand, if supply reduces and demand remains the same then prices must increase till a new equilibrium is reached.
For example, imagine a hypothetical Economy of Steel Makers. If the price of Iron changed from $5 to $10, producers who were producing 20 units of Steel will see their costs double and react by producing only 10 units of Steel to maintain cost margins thereby dropping Productivity.
The 20 units of Steel used to be sold in the market at $20 but now that the supply has dropped to 10 units, the price doubles to $40 to cater for this reduction in Quantity.
Answer:
buying puts
Explanation:
A put option is a sale option. It gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to sell an asset in the future to the seller of the option at a previously determined price.
The owner or buyer of a put option benefits from the option if the underlying asset falls, that is, if when the put option expires, the asset (a share for example) has a price lower than the agreed price . In that case, the option buyer will exercise his right and sell the asset at the agreed price and then buy it at the current market price, earning the difference.
If the price turns out to be higher than the agreed price, known as the strike or strike price, the buyer will not exercise his right and will simply have lost the premium he paid to acquire the option. Therefore, your benefit may be unlimited, but your loss is limited to the premium you paid.
