The graph of supply and demand has been shown in figure 1
Equilibrium quantity is where the supply and demand curve intersects. Equilibrium quantity = 3750 units and equilibrium price = $640.
The extended curve has been plotted in figure 2
If the City Council imposes a price ceiling of $560 per month, the the price cannot go above $560. This is shown in figure 4
Therefore a price ceiling of $560 creates a shortage of (4250-3250) = 1000 units. This has been marked as shortage 1 in figure 4.
Therefore a price ceiling of $560 creates a shortage of (4750-3250) = 1500 units. This has been marked as shortage 2 in figure 4.
