    3500500
    4700400
    5900300

By observing the above table, it can be seen that at a market price of 3, the quantity supplied equals to the quantity demanded. Hence, the equilibrium price is 3.

Answer to Problem 1.2P

If there is a fall in the demand for the e-book as it is following the change in the prices of e-books it would result in an increase of complement.

Explanation of Solution

    PriceQuantity SuppliedQuantity Demanded
    1100700
    2300600
    3500500
    4700400
    5900300

By observing the above table, at a price of 2 the quantity supplied is lower than the quantity demanded, and hence it is not the equilibrium price.

Similarly, at the price of 4, the quantity demanded is more than the quantity supplied, and hence it is not the equilibrium price.

If there is also a fall in the demand for physical books it can result in following a change in the price of e-books which are also substitutes can result in the decrease of the prices.

Explanation of Solution

Provided that the people now are demanding 300 more quantity at every price change, the demand will be changed and can be observed in the given table:

    PriceQuantity SuppliedQuantity Demanded
    11001000
    2300900
    3500800
    4700700
    5900600

In the resulting graph as shown below, the change in the quantity demanded would shift the demand curve outward:

Answer to Problem 1.2P

If there is also a fall in the demand for physical books it can result in following a change in the price of e-books which are also substitutes can result in the decrease of the prices.

Explanation of Solution

With the reduce in the supply and excess of demand at P=3, the result is that it is no more an equilibrium price.

This because, the supply and demand are not any more the same for the given price, and hence, the price is not any more an equilibrium price.
