Document Summary

Suppose that the short-run world demand and supply elasticities for crude oil are. The current price per barrel is and the short-run equilibrium quantity is 23. 84 billion barrels per year. If the demand curve is linear, it is in the form of qd = a + bp also, we know that. Rearranging the linear expression for demand allows us to solve for a as follows: a = qd - bp a = 23. 84 + 0. 060(30) = 25. 640. We may now write the linear expression for demand as. If the supply curve is linear, it is in the form of. Also, we know that e = d (p/q) d = e (q/p) = 0. 088 (23. 84/30) = 0. 070. Rearranging the linear expression for demand allows us to solve for c as follows: c = qs - dp c = 23. 84 - 0. 070(30) = 21. 740. We may now write the linear expression for supply as.
