A firms demand function is Q= 10 - P/6; its supply function is Q= P/3 - 2.
a) what is the equilibrium quantity?
b) What is the equilibrium price?
c.) Draw a graph showing the inverse DEMAND function, inverse SUPPLY function, equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantity.
Label the axes, the curves, and equilibrium. Also, show the values of the intercepts of the inverse demand and supply functions.
Solving for Qd = 10-P/6 and Qs=P/3 - 2 , gives us Peq = 24, which is the equilibrium price. Hence, the equilibrium quantity will be found when we plug in the equilibrum price on any demand function[Since, Qd =Qs in equilibrium]
a) Equilibrium quantity = 6
b) Equilibrium price = 24
c)
While the normal supply curve has an upward slope, it can be
noticed that the inverse supply curve has a downward slope(i.e.
higher the price, lower the quantity supplied) and the inverse
demand curve has an upward slope( i.e. higher the price, higher is
the quantity demanded)
[Eq Price denotes the equilibrium price and Eq quantity denotes the
equilibrium quantity]
