Suppose silver (S) and gold (G) are substitutes for each other because both serve as hedges against inflation. Suppose also that the supplies of both are fixed in the short run (QS= 250 and QG=150) and that the demands for silver and gold are given by the following equations:
PS=600-QS+0.5PG
PG=1050-QG+0.5PS
What are the equilibrium prices of the silver and gold?
What if a new discovery of gold doubles the quantity supplied to 300. How will this discovery affect the prices of both silver and gold?

Moonbucks roasts 2 types of coffee: Guatemala Gold and Sumatra Silver. Each month, the demand for each coffee type is uncertain. For Guatemala Gold, the mean demand is 20,000 pounds and the standard deviation is 5,000 pounds. For Sumatra Silver, the mean demand is 10,000 pounds and the standard deviation is 5,000 pounds. The demand for Guatemala Gold and Sumatra Silver is negatively correlated with a correlation of −0.4, since some customers tend to buy whichever coffee is on sale...
