Suppose demand and supply are given by: (LO3, LO4)Qx d = 14 − 1/2Px and Qx s = 1/4Px − 1a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity.
Assume that both the demand curve and the supply curve for coffee shift to the right but the demand curve shifts more than the supply curve. As a result O the equilibrium price of coffee will decrease; the equilibrium quantity may increase or decrease. O the equilibrium price of coffee may increase or decrease; the equilibrium quantity will increase. O both the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee will increase. O the equilibrium price of coffee will increase; the equilibrium quantity may increase or decrease.
ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=20−2Qd.P=20−2Qd.Supply is represented by the equation P=−5+3Qs,P=−5+3Qs,where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number.
Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.
Equilibrium price = ? $
Equilibrium quantity = ? units

- 13. How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of plastic, an important input in pen production, has dropped considerably. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.arrow_forwardThe table below shows two demand schedules for a given style of men’s shoe—that is, how many pairs per month will be demanded at various prices at a men’s clothing store in Seattle called Stromnord.
