In this period, on average, a mask found buyers in the market for $ 4.Mask supply and demand functions:Qd = a - bPQs = -c + dPQd = QsLet's assume that it is. Here you can choose the numerical values of the a, b, c, d parameters to solve the problem. When making solutions, use them parametrically. a)Using the above information, plot the supply and demand functions for the mask market. Show consumer and producer surplus values on the chart. b)If the mask price is $ 6, write the consumer and producer residual value using the integral.
