The market for Commodity A is competitive. The demand curve for Commodity A is: Q = 65 - 2 P. The supply curve for Commodity A is: Q = 21 + 2.5 P. To encourage production of Commodity A, the government is considering introducing a subsidy of $0.6 per unit. What is the market equilibrium quantity under the government subsidy?
