Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Based on your work, the demand and supply equations are:

QD=100−10PQ_D = 100 - 10P QS=40+20PQ_S = 40 + 20P

Part 3· 2 steps

  1. Find the quantity demanded (QDQ_D) when the price (PP) is 0.

    Substitute P=0P=0 into the demand equation:

    QD=100−10(0)Q_D = 100 - 10(0) QD=100−0Q_D = 100 - 0 QD=100Q_D = 100
  2. Find the quantity supplied (QSQ_S) when the price (PP) is 0.

    Substitute P=0P=0 into the supply equation:

    QS=40+20(0)Q_S = 40 + 20(0) QS=40+0Q_S = 40 + 0 QS=40Q_S = 40

    At a price of $0, the quantity demanded is 100 units and the quantity supplied is 40 units.

Part 4· 3 steps

  1. Find the quantity demanded (QDQ_D) when the price (PP) is $4.00.

    Substitute P=4P=4 into the demand equation:

    QD=100−10(4)Q_D = 100 - 10(4) QD=100−40Q_D = 100 - 40 QD=60Q_D = 60
  2. Find the quantity supplied (QSQ_S) when the price (PP) is $4.00.

    Substitute P=4P=4 into the supply equation:

    QS=40+20(4)Q_S = 40 + 20(4) QS=40+80Q_S = 40 + 80 QS=120Q_S = 120
  3. Compare quantity demanded and quantity supplied.

    At a price of 4.00,thequantitydemandedis∗∗60units∗∗andthequantitysuppliedis∗∗120units∗∗.Since4.00, the quantity demanded is **60 units** and the quantity supplied is **120 units**. Since Q_S > Q_D$, there is a surplus.

    Surplus=QS−QD=120−60=60 units\text{Surplus} = Q_S - Q_D = 120 - 60 = 60 \text{ units}

    There is a surplus of 60 units.
