Solution:
Equilibrium occurs where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
a) From the demand and supply schedules given for market for AA batteries' packs during a typical week, it can be seen that quantity demanded = quantity supplied = 50
This occurs at price level of $10 per pack. So, correct answer is P = $10; Q = 50 packs
b) From the demand and supply schedules given for market for AA batteries' packs during a tornado week, it can be seen that quantity demanded = quantity supplied = 60
This occurs at price level of $12 per pack. So, correct answer is P = $12; Q = 60 packs
c) Whenever the price ceiling lies below the equilibrium price level, such constraint is always binding. A binding constraint always impacts the market, creating either a shortage or surplus of a good. Since price ceiling of $10 < $12, the equilibrium price level, it will affect the battery market during a tornado week. However, in the question, they're asking about the ceiling's impact on a typical week. Since price ceiling equals the equilibrium price for a typical week, the market will not be impacted.
d) During tornadoes week, at a price ceiling or price level of $10, from the second table we can see that:
Quantity demanded = 70 packs
Quantity supplied = 40 packs
e) Notice from the above part that 70 > 40, that is, quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied or in other words, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied.
So, there is clearly a shortage in the market (since demand exceeds supply). Furthermore, this shortage = quantity demanded - quantity supplied
shortage = 70 - 40 = 30 packs
So, correct option is (b).
