For a certain commodity the demand equation is given by Demand = −30p + 1000. At a price of $5, 600 units of this commodity are supplied. (a) If the supply equation is linear and the market price is $10, find the supply equation. (b)If the price of this commodity increases by $3 per unit, what effect will this have on the supply and demand of the commodity?
a) A supply function indicates the number of units of a commodity that suppliers are willing to bring to the market place as a function of price consumers are willing to pay. The function is qs = 0.5p2 – 200, determine the following: i: What class of function is this?ii: What quantity can be supplied if the market price is Rs. 30 & Rs. 50?iii: What price would result in 0 unit being brought to the market place?
