. Assume the following data describe the gasoline market:
(a) Graph the demand and supply curves.
(b) What is the equilibrium price?
(c) If supply at every price is reduced by 6 gallons, what will the new equilibrium price be?
(d) If the government freezes the price of gasoline at its initial equilibrium price, how much of a surplus or shortage will exist when supply is reduced as described in part (c)?
In a market economy,
supply determines demand and demand, in turn, determines prices.
demand determines supply and supply, in turn, determines prices.
the allocation of scarce resources determines prices and prices, in turn, determine supply and demand.
supply and demand determine prices and prices, in turn, allocate the economy’s scarce resources.
Can someone please assist me with this? the first question goes with number 2.
1. Suppose the demand and supply for milk is described by the following equations: QD = 800-100P; QS= -700 + 400P, where P is price in dollars, QD is quantity demanded in millions of gallons per year, and QS is quantity supplied in millions of gallons per year. Calculate equilibrium quantities and price.
2. If the price in the above market is $4 would the market be in equilibrium, surplus or shortage? If it is in surplus or shortage, how much would the shortage or surplus be?
