The following formulas represent the demand and supply curves
for corn:
QD = 1,600 – 125 * P
QS = 440 + 165 * P
Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in this market and
illustrate this graphically. Suppose corn becomes less popular so
the market demand curve is now given by QD = 1,020 – 125 * P.
Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity and illustrate the
movement from the old equilibrium to the new one graphically.
Answer
the equilibrium is at Qd=Qs
1600-125P=440+165P
290P=1160
P=4
Q=1600-125*4
Q=1100
the equilibrium price is $4, and the quantity is 1100 units
after the change in demand
1020-125P=440+165P
290P=580
P=2
Q=1020-125*2
Q=770
the new price is $2, and the quantity is 770 units

A market is described by the following supply and demand curves: Qs = 3P Qd = 400-P The equilibrium price is S and the equilibrium quantity is Suppose the government imposes a price ceiling of $80. This price ceiling is , and the market price will be supplied will be . and the quantity demanded will be . Therefore, a price calling of $60 will result in the quantity the quantity Suppose the government imposes a price floor of $80....
2) Suppose that the demand and supply curves for a good are given by QD = (900/P) and QS = 4P. What is the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? Explain what is happening in the market at a price of $10 & Explain what is happening in the market at a price of $20. Please represent this market in a graph for price in equilibrium, when the price is $10 and when the price is $20.
Suppose the market demand and supply curves are represented by the following equations: Qd = 100 – 0.25P Qs = 40 + 0.25P PART A I already did: a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity. (Show your calculations) [2 marks] Price can be calculated QD=QS 100- 0.25P = 40+ 0.25P Rewritten as: 60 = 0.5 Price= 120 Quantity can be calculated: QD = 100 – 0.25 (120) = 70 B) illustrate these curves on a graph, labelling these curves, intercepts...
Consider the market for corn. Suppose the market demand and supply curves are as given. Demand: P = 270-3QD; Supply P = 30 + QS. Price is the price per metric ton (in cents). 1) Calculate the equilibrium price (P) and quantity (Q). 2) If the government impose a price floor of 100 cents per metric ton on corn, calculate the quantity demanded, quantity supplies and the surplus/ shortage at this price.
Consider a perfectly competitive market for a good with the following supply and demand curves: Qd= 400–P and Qs= 80 + 4P a. Calculate the change in equilibrium quantity, and the size of the deadweight loss that will result if a unit tax of $10 is imposedon consumers of this good. Draw a graph that illustrates how you arrived at your answer. b. Suppose the demand curve changes to: Qd’= 376-0.6P First, verify that the pre-tax equilibrium is approximately the...
Suppose that the demand and supply curves for ethanol in the United States are represented by the following equations: QD = 1,600 − 320P QS = −800 + 640P where QD is the quantity demanded (in millions of gallons per month), QS is the quantity supplied, and P is the price (in dollars per gallon). In the scenario above, if the market is in equilibrium, the price of ethanol is $(blank) per gallon and the quantity of ethanol sold is...

1. The market for a product is defined by the following demand and supply curves: Qd=20-7p Qs=-4+5P where Qd and Qs are the quantities demanded and supplied, and P is the price of the product in £s. (i) Draw (accurately) a diagram to depict the market for this product and determine the equilibrium price and quantity. (ii) Solve for the equilibrium market price and quantity mathematically (remember that, in equilibrium, Qd=Qs).
