DEMAND AND SUPPLY FUNCTIONS TO

 DETERMINE EQUILIBRIUM PRICE AND QUANTITY

ILLUSTRATION

The demand and supply equation for a commodity, (in a free market) are giving as:

   Qd = 10- 2p

   QS = 4p-8

  • Given that p is in Naira, Qd and QS are in kg, determine
  • The equilibrium price and
  • The equilibrium quantity
  • i. if the price (p) were to be N4.00 what will be the excess supply?

ii. If the price is fined at N2.00, what will be the excess demand?

Solution

Qd = QS at equilibrium:  if Qd= 10-2p and QS = 4p-8 Then:

   10-2p = 4p-8

10+8 = 4p+2p 

2020 = 6p

 P =  =N3

1+p =N3 using the Qd i.e.

10-2p

10-2(3)

10-6=4

Therefore the equilibrium price = N3 and the equilibrium quantity is 4kg.

(2) It price is find at N4.00

Qd = 10-2(4)

       = 10-8 =2kg

QS = 4p-8

       = 4(4)-8

       = 16-8 =8kg

Excess supply = 8kg -2kg =6kg

(ii)  If price is find at N2.00

            Qd = 10-2(2)

                  = 10-4=6kg

                  = 4(2)-8=0

Excess demand = 6-0 = 6kg

Price system: it is a system that determines the rate at which goods and services are produced exchanged and distributed.

Importance of the price system

  1. It allocates scare resources to the maximum usage
  2. It determines demand
  3. It determines supply
  4. It influences production pattern and type
  5. It can be used to regulate the consumption pattern of consumes
  6. It encourages exchange as well as solve the problem. It borty system trade.

Step 1. Teacher revises the previous topic

  • Introduction of the topic
  • General class discussion

  2. What is price system

Assignment

Given that:
