A company that makes sweatshirts is willing to supply 156 sweatshirts each month if the price is $24 each and will supply 204 sweatshirts each month if the price is $36 each. Find the linear supply function, qS where qS is the number of sweatshirts the company is willing to make available per month at a price of p dollars per sweatshirt. A.qS = 12p + 48 B.qS = p/12 – 48 C.qS = 0.25p – 15 D.qS = 4p + 60
Consider the demand function for processed pork in Canada, Qd = = 270.00 - 12p +20p + 3pc +0.002Y The supply function for processed pork in Canada is: Qs p is the price of pork Q is the quantity of pork demanded (measured in millions of kg per year) Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity for pork. The equilibrium price of pork is $ rounded to two decimal places.) = 234.00 + 36p - 60ph Pp is the price of beef = $4 per kg Pc is the price of chicken = $3 per kg Y is the income of consumers = $12,500 Ph is the price of a hog = $1.50 per kg and the equilibrium quantity of pork is million kg per year.
