...Assignment 3: Demand and Supply How are the Laws of Supply and Demand illustrated in this graph? Explain your answers. The graph shows the basic laws of supply and demand. It does not show any factors that can or will control or influence what happens to the demand of computers. This graph shows that as the price of computer increases the demand for the computer decreases and supply of computers increase. The prices of the computer would be a determinant in this case. As the price of the computer decreased, the demand for the product also increased, but the supply of the product also goes down. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? The equilibrium price is $125 and the equilibrium quantity is 1,750. Suppose the government imposes a special tax on these computers. Describe what would happen in this market in terms of the supply and demand curve. Taxes reduce both demand and supply and increases the equilibrium cost to a price higher than it would be without the tax and also decreases the amount that is wanted by the consumer that is lower without the tax. If a buyer has the option to buy an item that is equal to the item that has tax added, they will more likely purchase the product for a cheaper price. Assume that the government imposes a price floor of $150 in the computer market. What would happen in this market? If the government enforced a price floor of $150 on the E-Books a few things might normal, and there could be a surplus of...

...researching. Taking into account the efforts and allowances spilled by AMT on its research and development aspect, and in invading new markets, it is not unexpected that it had gained an extraordinary growth and rapid expansion of its sales force for just a few years of being established. Like any other companies who were in their infancy/growth stage, it is a normal thing to put the best shoe forward in order to gain an A+ mark. But the aggressiveness nature of the decisions made by Peter Haskins, president of the AMT, had, to the conclusion of some lenders, contributed to several tribulations that impede the continuous growth of the company. Though AMT had gained extraordinary growth through their well done researches, it tends to risk its financial aspect by exhausting too much fund just to develop and produce its product. Its mismanagement of its assets had made potential creditors to deny its loan requests. These facts had led to the perfection of this study. It aimed to analyze the problems faced by the company, the cause of these problems and how the company will trounce these problems. II.

The recent global financial crisis began in the year of 2007 and the intensity increased in the subsequent year. Global financial crisis in 2007 happened as result of a number of factors such as government mandated subprime lending, imprudent mortgage lending, housing bubble, securitization and a few other more factors, which will be discussed. Causes The government mandated subprime lending has contributed to the financial crisis by promoting affordable housing under Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Through affordable housing, banks were encouraged to participate in imprudent mortgage lending as mandated by the federal in order to help low-income borrowers, which imprudent mortgage lending is another cause that contributed to the global financial crisis (Jickling, 2009). As a result of mortgage lending, low-income families are able to purchase houses that they are not be able to afford to purchase without the policy. The loans require low or no down payments and limited documentation...
