Consider a perfectly competitive market for apples. Let demand and supply be estimated by the linear functions P-30-0.5Qd and P=5+0.5Qś, respectively. Q is in tons, P is in dollars. What is the equilibrium price P* and equilibrium quantity exchanged Q in this market? (Learning objective 4 and 10) Q = 20 tons at P* = $20 Q = 25 tons at P = $17.5 Q = 25 tons at P = $20 Q = 12.5 tons at P* = $20

In a competitive market, (inverse-) demand is P(Qd)=130 – (2/2)*Qd, while (inverse-) supply is P(Qs)=10 + (4/2)*Qs. What is the equilibrium quantity?
The market for paperback detective novels is perfectly competitive. Market Demand is given by Q=220-3P. Market Supply is given by P=4+2Q. At a price of $60, what is the difference between market demand and market supply? Enter a number only. If there is excess demand then input a positive number. If there is excess supply, input a negative number. If the market is in equilibrium, enter 0.
Assume the market for oil is perfectly competitive, with the following market demand and supply curves (price in S and quantities in millions of barrels per day): Qd=95-P Qs= 15 + 3P Find the equilibrium price and quantity exchanged in this market.
Supply and Demand The supply function for a product is given by p = q2 + 500 and the demand function for this product is p = 1124 - 40q, where p isthe price in dollars and q is the number of hundredsof units. Find the price that gives market equilibriumand the equilibrium quantity
Identify the demand or supply determinant(s) that changes and explain how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in a purely competitive market will change in each of the following situations. Draw the appropriate demand and supply curves showing the change. (Each graph should have an equilibrium point before the change as well as after; be sure to label all parts of the graphs). a. Product: New homes -wages increases so consumer incomes increase and supply does not change b. Product: French cheese- A tariff is removed from the importation of French cheese while demand remains the same. C. Product: eat-at-home pizza- consumers desire for eating at home increases and the cost of flour (used to make pizza) decreases
In a perfectly competitive market, market demand is Qd(P)=160 – (3/2)*P while market supply is Qs(P)= –20 + (4/2)*P. What is the equilibrium price?
Problem Following are four graphs and four market scenarios, each of which would cause a shift in either the demand or the supply curve of plastic bottled water. For each scenario, do the necessary changes on the graphs below by showing the new market equilibrium reached. You are also expected to mention the changing factor. An improvement of the water bottling industry occurred lately. The price of glass bottled water increased and this is a substitute in production for the firm. The price of plastic has increased. Assume that plastic bottled water is an inferior good, and that the Kuwaiti economy witnessed an increase in the average household income from 20,000KD to 25,000 KD. Kindly explain in detail
