Suppose the demand curve for a product is Qd 80... - SS2 Economics Determination of Equilibrium Price And Quantity Question

Suppose the demand curve for a product is Qd = 80 - P and the supply curve is Qs = 30 + 2P. What is the equilibrium price and quantity?

Setting Qd = Qs, we have:

80 - P = 30 + 2P

Simplifying the equation, we get:

50 = 3P

P = 16.67

Substituting P = 16.67 into either the demand or supply equation, we get:

Qd = 80 - 16.67 = 63.33

Qs = 30 + 2(16.67) = 63.33

The equilibrium price is $16.67 and the equilibrium quantity is 63.33 units (rounded to two decimal places).
