Suppose the demand and supply curves for rice in Japan are given by the following equations: QD = 120 - 30P QS = 40 + 10P Where QD = million tons of rice the Japanese would like to buy each year; QS = million tons of rice Japanese farmers would like to sell each year; and P = price per ton of rice (in hundreds). Fill in the following table: Use the information in the table to find the equilibrium price and quantity. Graph the demand and supply curves and identify the equilibrium price and quantity.
