The supply schedule can be represented by the equation QS = 1,400 + 700P, where QS is the quantity supplied. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for washing machines. Identify the flaw in this analysis: “If more Bahamians go on a low-carb diet, the demand for pasta will fall. The decrease in the demand for pasta will cause the price of pasta to fall.
