Consider the markets for beef (B) and lamb (M), where the demand curves a Q = 20 - 2PM + Ps and Q = 60 - 6PB + 4 PM and the supply curves are QM = 2PM and QB = 3P8. a) Find the equilibrium prices and quantities for beef and lamb. b) Suppose that an increase in the price of chicken shifts the supply curve of QM = PM. How does this change affect the equilibrium prices and quantities and lamb? Using words and graphs, explain why a shift in the supply curve fo would change the price of beef

Doughnut demand shifts leftward, doughnut price declines, and doughnut quantity increases. C. Doughnut demand shifts rightward, doughnut price increases, and doughnut quantity declines. D. Doughnut demand shifts rightward and doughnut price and quantity increase.
the demand and supply of two goods are given below Good1 demand: Q1=100-2P1+2P2 Good1 supply : Q1=2P1 Good2 demand : Q2=200-4P2+2P1 Good supply : Q2=20+2P2 based on the two demand equations , we can say that the goods are ________(complements,subsitutes,unrelated) These two markets are in equilibrium when P1= $_______ and P2=$_______ if the demand for the good 1 increases by 20 both prices will change even through only the demand for good 1 initially changes. the new general equilibrium will be P1=$_______________ P2=$_______________
Suppose the demand and supply function of the item x and y are associated with each other. If qx and qy are the units produced and sold of x and y, respectively, and px and py are the corresponding prices, the demand functions are qx=7-px+py and qy=24+px-py and the supply functions are qx=-3+4px-2py and qy=-5-2px+4py. What is the equilibrium prices?
