Suppose you are given the following information: Qs = 200 + 3P                     Qd= 400 – P where Qs is the quantity supplied, Qd is the quantity demanded and P is the price. I. From this information compute the equilibrium price and quantity. ii. Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd = 400 – (2P + T) where T is taxes. If T = 20, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: You are solving for the equilibrium price for sellers and buyers).

where Qs is the quantity supplied, Qd is the quantity demanded and P is the price.
I. From this information compute the equilibrium price and quantity.

ii. Now suppose that a tax is placed on buyers so that Qd = 400 – (2P + T) where T is taxes. If T = 20, solve for the new equilibrium price and quantity. (Note: You are solving for the equilibrium price for sellers and buyers).
