demand.\n\nok, the price that can be set for a product and the amont of profit that can be made is automatically set by the relationship between how many people want it and how much there is of the product. if demand is high and the suply is low the price will rise and if demand is low and the suply is high the price will fall. stablity is achived when the two are balanced.

Greed mostly.  The actual physical factors that drive it are production supplies and output demand but these could be leveled off and maintained for the most part so fluctuations come from CEOs of exxon and similar gas refinery companies or Leaders in OPEC messing with prices just to jack up the price to make more profits

Voters, for one. To some degree, the economy. Random events, disasters [man-made and otherwise], acts of nature, etc. Also, other governments--their views, actions, etc--can influence policy, as well.

Well, actually it would depend on the rates of increase.  Theoretically, if demand and supply increase at matching rates, then the price should remain pretty stable.  This is assuming demand = 1 and supply = 1.  If demand increases at 1 and supply increases at 2, then the price might go down, for example.  (This also does not take into account marketing strategies and other variables!)

demand for resource depends on the price of that resource... either the actual selling price (if the price was too high, consumers would be reluctant to buying it) or the opportunity costs in obtaining the resource (the difficulty in obtaining the resource.. or what you must give up in order to get that resource)\n\nim currently taking a microeconomics class too.

Ultimately, it is determined by supply and demand.  If people want dollars on the foreign exchange market then their value increases and so the exchange rate increases. \n\nSo what affects supply and demand?\n\nthree main things.\n\nCurrent account transactions (ie trade)\n\nSuppose the people of the UK buy more US goods (the firms will demand payment in $)- so the price of dollars will rise as there is more demand for them.  This is offset by the US buying UK goods.\n\nHowever, people are most likely to buy foreign goods when their currency is valuable - as foreign goods will be cheaper.  So you can see this will balance out - as more people buy US goods - the more the dollar will rise - so the cheaper UK goods will be for the US (and the more expensive Us goods will be for the UK) - so the less demand they'll be, so the dollar will fall, etc.\n\nCapital account flows (investement)\n\nSuppose the US has higher interest rates than the UK, then investors will invest in the US - creating more demand for dollars.\n\nGovernment intervention\n\nThe government might make open market transactions if they want to maintain a particular exchange rate.\n\nNow the last two factors will affect exchange rates in the short term - but it is the balance of payments that determine it in the long-term.  This will ultimately be affected by productivity and inflation.

I'm not sure what your homework answer is supposed to be, but the primary changes that occurred were the expansion of consumer credit and television advertising.\n\nTV ads made products more visible to large numbers of people (consumers) and credit allowed people to buy more than they could otherwise.
