Question

Suppose that supply and demand functions for a produc are given by:

Qd = 500 - 2P

Qs = -100 +3

1. Find the equilibrium price and quanityty.

2. If the curent pice of te product is $100, what is the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded? How would you describe this situation, and what would you expect to happen in the market?

3. If the current price of the product is $150, what is te quaniity supplied and the quantity demanded? How would you describe this situation and what would you expect to happen in this market?

4. Suppose tat demand changes to Qd = 600 - 2P. Find te new equilibrium price and quantity.

Questions 2 and 3 are not new equilibriums, but new pices with market equilibrium that you calculated from question 1.
