Suppose the equation for demand can be expressed as P = 40 – 2Q. The equation for supply can be expressed as P = Q. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Be able to draw the graph that illustrates your answer.
The demand and supply curves for a product are given by:
Qd = 600 - 2P
Qs = 300 + 4P
Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. Carefully draw a graph to illustrate your
answer. Make sure to write out the intercepts. Show the equilibrium price and the equilibrium
quantity on your graph.
Suppose both the demand for olives and the supply of olives decline by equal amounts over some time period. Use graphical analysis
