Micro Economics: Market Equilibrium

Question:

Suppose the demand and supply curves of a beverage are given by:

qD = 1,500 + p

qS = 500 + 2p

Calculate equilibrium price.

Options:

2000

2500

900

1000

Correct Answer:

1000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4: 1000

At equilibrium, market supply = market demand.

Equating them, we get 1500+p = 500+ 2p

1500-500 = 2p - p

1000 = p

Thus, the equilibrium price is 1000.
