a) If energy prices go up, manufacturing costs go up, which ultimately increases the price of the notebook. This will also most likely lead to a decrease in quantity, as the manufacturing cost per unit is higher. This is a supply determinant.

b) In theory, the subsidy reduces the cost per unit to the manufacturer, which increases supply and often reduces price, again being a supply-side determinant. In reality, it creates an incentive for notebook manufacturers to keep doing what they are doing, disincentivizing cost-saving developments and alternatives. Why innovate when you can get free government cheese?
Anyway, supply determinant.

c) The price of an inferior good increasing tends to push some demand for superior goods, especially when the income to cost of good ratio remains the same for the inferior good but gets better for the superior one. Demand determinant.

Answer from: Quest

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
