Find the market price for the given pair of supply and demand equations:
s= 29P+470
D= 1150-11p
Ans) Equilibrium is where Qd = Qs
29P + 470 = 1150 - 11P
29P + 11P = 1150 - 470
40P = 680
P = $17
Also, we can find market quantity by plugging the value of P in either demand or supply equation.
Qs = 29P + 470 = 29(17) + 470 = 963 units
Or
Qd = 1150 - 11P = 1150 - 11(17) = 963 units.
