Consider the following supply and demand curves for a certain product?
QD = 25,000P
QS = 50,000 - 10,000P
a. Plot the demand and supply curves.
b. What are the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity for the industry? Determine the answer both algebraically and graphically. (Round to the nearest cent.)
A) Supply and Demand Curves
B) Market Demand (Qs) = Market supply (Qd)
25,000P = 50,000 - 10,000 P
50,000 = 35,000 P
P=$1.43
When,
P = $1.43,
QD = 50,000 – (10,000 X 1.43) = 35,700
As Shown in the graph,
Equilibrium price =$1.43
Equilibrium quantity = 35,700
