In: Economics
The demand for product X depends on the price of product X as well as the average household income (Y) according to the following relationship
Qdx = 400 - 15 P + 0.001Y
The supply of product X is positively related to own price of product X and negatively dependent upon W, the price of some input. This relationship is expressed as:
Qsx = 190 + 30 P - 3 W
Given that Y = 45,000 and W = 9, what is the:
1. Equilibrium price?
2. Equilibrium quantity?
Suppose that income increases to 55,000 and W remains constant. What is the new:
3. Equilibrium price?
4. Equilibrium quantity?
Assuming that income remains constant at 55,000 and W increases
to 14, what is the new:
5: Equilibrium price?
6. Equilibrium quantity?
