Consider the following: If the price per unit of good A is P175 quantity purchased is valued at 5,250 units and quantity supplied equals 2,500 units. If price changes by P1, quantity demanded changes by 4 units for consumer demand and quantity supplied changes by 2 units.
Graph demand and supply curves on one set of axes and highlight the following: price intercepts of demand and supply curves, quantity-intercepts of demand and supply curves, and the equilibrium point. (Make sure to LABEL your graph accordingly.)
