Question:

The market demand curve and the market supply curve of bajra are given by:

qD = 450 – p for 0<p<450

qS = 150 + p

At price = 200, there will be?

Options:

Excess demand

Excess supply

No excess demand, no excess supply

None of above

Correct Answer:

Excess supply

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2: Excess supply

Putting p = 200 in demand equation and supply equation one by one.

Qd = 450 – p = 450 – 200 = 250

Qs = 150 + p = 150 + 200 = 350.

Since supply is greater than demand, there will be excess supply at the price of 200.
