Demand, Supply and Price Control A demand curve is a graphical representation of how much of a good or service households will want to buy at different prices. A supply curve is a graphical representation of how much of a good or service a firm is willing to sell at some specific price. The intersection of the demand and supply curve is called equilibrium. First, briefly explain the laws of supply and demand. In doing so, be certain your answer includes an explanation of the relationship between price and quantity for goods that are substitutes and for goods that are compliments; Then, briefly explain the relationship between price and quantity above the equilibrium price, and the relationship between price and quantity below the equilibrium price. In doing so, be certain your answer includes an explanation of the two separate conditions that result from each relationship to their related market inefficiencies; Next, briefly explain the two types of price controls that result in market…

Let's denote the hour taught by native language teacher by letter L. Thus, the project's demand for teaching hours by native language teachers is described by the demand function La project = 5000. Suppose that the following is known about the current (pre-project) market for native language teachers: - there is no involuntary unemployment among the native language teachers - the Government does not apply any taxes or subsidies in this particular labour market; - the current (pre-project) demand for teaching hours by native language teachers is described by the demand function La = 30000 – 300Wa, where La denotes the quantity of teaching hours (by native language teachers) demanded and Wa denotes the demander price per teaching hour; - the current (pre-project) supply of teaching hours by native language teachers is given…
