In this problem, p is in dollars and x is the number of units.
The demand function for a product is
p = 54 − x2.
If the equilibrium price is $5 per unit, how many units will be purchased at this price?
x1 =
What is the equilibrium point?
(x1, p1) =
What is the consumer's surplus? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Assume a market for a normal good is currently in equilibrium. If the expected price of the good is lower than the current price, then:
Demand will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 1
Supply will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 2
Equilibrium price will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 3
Equilibrium quantity will (decrease / increase / not change): Blank 4
What is wrong with this statement? Demand refers to the willingness of buyers to purchase different quantities of a good at different prices during a specific time period.

First, assume Hot dog franks and buns are complements. The Heinz Petition is likely to affect demand for hot dog franks since it will no longer be necessary to buy 2 packages of buns for one pack of hot dogs. Will this increase or decrease demand?
