Equilibrium Price: Cell Phones Worldwide quarterly sales of a brand of cell phones were approximately q = −p + 146 million phones when the wholesale price was $p. (a) If the cellphone company was prepared to supply q = 9p − 394 million phones per quarter at a wholesale price of $p, what would have been the equilibrium price?

The domestic supply and demand curves for hula beans are as follows: P = 50 + Q (supply) and P = 200 – Q (demand) where P is the price in cents per pound and Q is the quantity in millions of pounds. Ireland is a small producer in this market where the current price is 60 cents per pound. The Irish Government is considering a tariff of 40 cents per pound. The quantity of hula beans imported into Ireland after the tariff is A. 100B. 50C. 130D. 90
In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations QD = 300 – 20P,QS = -540 + 40P, where P is the price per unit in pounds and QD and QS are the quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively.

A group of retailers will buy 88 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 128 if the price is $250. The wholesaler is willing to supply 72 if the price is $225 and 152 if the price is $315. Assuming the resulting supply and demand functions are linear, find the supply equation, the demand equation, and the equilibrium point for the market.
