X.C. 1: XXXXXXX that instead XX a supply-XXXXXX XXXXXXX, you XXX XXXXX XXX following information:
Q s = XXX + 3###i
/i###
Q d = XXX - 2###i
From XXXX XXXXXXXXXXX compute equilibrium XXXXX XXX quantity. (2 XXXXXX)
Answer (XX-1)
XXX XXXXXXXXXXX price XXXX XX the XXXXX XXXXX X s = X d. Therefore,
100 + XX = 400 – 2P
XX + 2P = XXX – XXX
5P = XXX
X = XX
XXX equilibrium price XX XXXXXXXXX XX XXX unit.
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX can XXX be XXXXXX out by putting XXX value of X and solving XXX Q. Hence,
X s = 100 + X(XX)
= 100 + 180
= 280 XXXXX
Or;
Q d = 400 – X(60)
= XXX – XXX
= XXX Units
XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX is XXX XXXXX.
