Full explanation would be appreciated!
a) At equilibrium prices, demand and supply are equal. I.e. Qd = QS
Qd = 120-p Qs = 5p
= 120 = 5p + p
= 120 = 6P
P = 120/6. The equilibrium price of the commodity will be 20.
At the equilibrium price, a good demand is 120 -p = 120 -20 or 100.
b) When P is $15, the quantity supplied is 5(15) = 75, and the quantity demanded is Qd = 120 -15 = 105.
Demand is greater than supply and there will be a shortage of 30. The answer is "B".

Suppose the demand for jackets is given by Qd = 120 – P, and the supply of jackets is given by Qs = -30 + 2P. Solve for the equilibrium price. Plug the equilibrium price back into the demand equation and solve for the equilibrium quantity. Double-check your work by plugging the equilibrium price into the supply equation and solving for the equilibrium quantity. Does your answer agree with what you got in (b)? Solve for the elasticity of demand...
4. Suppose the market for grass seed can be expressed as: Demand: Qd = 200 - 5P Supply: Qs = 40 + 5P If the government collects a $5 specific tax from sellers (here you can change the supply equation to Qs = 40 + 5(P-t) or Qs = 15+ 5P, How much will the quantity demanded change from the amount demanded before the tax? What price will consumers pay after the tax? What price will sellers receive after the...
