year 2009, due to the drop in the export demand of rice.Butthe
Government wants to keep the price of rice at higher level.
The given equations show the quantity demanded and quantitysuppliedof
rice during the year 2007.
Year 2007: Demand: Qd = 1,600 - 125P
Year 2007 Supply: Qs = 440 + 165P

b. Why the government wants to keep the priceathigher level i.e. to
$5.50 when there is decline in export demand. Will it effectonthe
quantity demanded or quantity supplied equation and curveandhow
