A regression model was applied to explain movements in the Canadian dollar's value over time. The coefficient for the inflation differential between the United States and Canada was − 0.2. The coefficient of the interest rate differential between the United States and Canada produced a coefficient of 0.8. Thus, the Canadian dollar depreciates when the inflation differential and the interest rate differential .

Consider the market for gas-powered small cars. assume gas-powered small cars are a normal good. for each of the following events, identify which of the determinants of demand or supply are affected. if demand is unaffected by this event because it creates only a supply change, select the “none” option under the “demand determinant” column. similarly, if supply is unaffected by this event because it creates only a demand change, select the “none” option under the “supply determinant” column. event demand determinant supply determinant people decide to have more children. the price of electric small cars falls. the discovery of a new source of iron ore lowers steel prices. an economic recession lowers people’s wealth. a number of major car dealers decide to switch from selling gas-powered cars to selling electric cars. show the effect of the following event on the market for gas-powered small cars: people decide to have more children for each of the four independent situations, prepare the journal entries to record the exchange on the books of each company.
