Draw a supply and demand graph showing an equilibrium price of $50 and an equilibrium quantity of 200 units. Explain what would happen if the selling price was $75, and illustrate this on the graph. Explain what would happen if the selling price was $25, and illustrate this on the graph. Be sure to label each axis and curve on the graph.

Can someone please assist me with this? the first question goes with number 2.
1. Suppose the demand and supply for milk is described by the following equations: QD = 800-100P; QS= -700 + 400P, where P is price in dollars, QD is quantity demanded in millions of gallons per year, and QS is quantity supplied in millions of gallons per year. Calculate equilibrium quantities and price.
2. If the price in the above market is $4 would the market be in equilibrium, surplus or shortage? If it is in surplus or shortage, how much would the shortage or surplus be?

- Demand and supply often shift in the retail market for gasoline. Below are two demand curves and two supply curves for gallons of gasoline in the month of May in a small town in Maine. Some of the data are missing a. Use the following facts to fill in the missing data in the table. If demand is D1 and supply is S1, the equilibrium quantity is 7,000 gallons per month. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, the equilibrium price is $3.00 per gallon. When demand is D2 and supply is S1, there is an excess demand of 4,000 gallons per month at a price of $1.00 per gallon. If demand is D1 and supply is S2, the equilibrium quantity is 8,000 gallons per month. b. Compare two equilibriums. In the first, demand is D1 and supply is S1. In the second, demand is D1 and supply is S2. By how much does the equilibrium quantity change? By how much does the equilibrium price change? c.
