A market has a demand function given by the equation Qd = 180 – 2P, and a supply function given by the equation Qs = -15 + P. The market is government-regulated with a price support per unit and production quotas. (NOTE: A production quota is a restriction on the quantity of the good that can be produced. Firms are not allowed to produce more than the quota) %3D
