Please explain as detail as possible, thanks.
The demand for butter is given by 120-4pd and the supply is 2ps-30, where pd and ps are, respectively the price paid by demanders and the price received by suppliers. a: Draw the demand and supply functions. b: Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. c: Suppose a drought strikes that shifts the supply functions to 2ps-60. The demand remains the same. Draw the new supply function, and find the new equilibrium price and quantity.
The following are market demand and supply equations for a perfume product:QD = 70 − 4PQS = 10 + 2Pwhere P is, QD and QS are quantity demanded and supplied of perfume, respectively. C) Suppose consumers’ income increases and perfume is considered as a normal good. As a result, the new demand equation is QD = 100 − 4P. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity of perfume. D) Your economist friend told you that because of the change in demand described in part (c), price elasticity of demand changed. Is your friend right? Explain. E) Use the demand equation in part (c) to compute price elasticity of demand between £5 and £6. Use the mid-point (arc) method.

Question 5 Suppose a market is in equilibrium, and then the demand increases. Which of the following would be shown on a graph that illustrated the effects? a) An excess demand at the initial equilibrium price. b) An excess demand at the new equilibrium price. c) An excess supply at the initial equilibrium price. d) An excess supply at the new equilibrium price.
#10: The quantity demanded x (in units of a hundred) of the Mikado miniature cameras per week is related to the unit price p (in dollars) by p= -0.2x² + 80 and the quantity x (in units of a hundred) that the supplier is willing to make available in the market is related to the unit price p (in dollars) by p = 0.1x² + x + 40. If the market is set at the equilibrium price, find the consumers' surplus and the producers' surplus.

3)What is the relationship between a demand schedule and a demand curve? * a)A demand schedule shows the various quantities of the good demanded, while a demand curve shows the various prices. b)A demand schedule is a numerical tabulation of the quantity demanded of a good at different prices, while a demand curve is a graphical representation of the law of demand. c)A demand curve shows the various quantities of the good demanded, while a demand schedule shows the various prices. d)A demand curve is a numerical tabulation of the quantity demanded of a good at different prices, while a demand schedule is a graphical representation of the law of demand.
