The market for plastic has been estimated to have these supply and demand relationships: Supply Q = 100P - 1000 Demand Q = 10000 - 100P where P represents price per unit in dollars, and Q represents sales per week in tons. a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantities. b. Determine the amount of shortage or surplus that would develop at P=$40.
