Given below are the demand and supply functions for three interdependent commodities

Qd1 = 40 – 2P1 + 3P2 – 4P3

Qs1 = P1 – 10

Qd2 = 16 + 3P1 – 3P2 + 2P3

Qs2 = –4 + P2

Qd3 = 25 – 3P1 + 3P2 – 2P3

Qs3 = P3 – 5

a. Determine the equilibrium prices and quantities for the three commodity Market model. b. Compute the price and cross elasticities of demand for all three markets and interpret their coefficients.
