Suppose the demand and supply curves of coffee are given by: qD = 1,000 –- p, qS = 700 + 2p Calculate equilibrium quantity. |
790 800 900 810 |
900 |
The correct answer is option 3: 900 At equilibrium, market supply = market demand. Equating them, we get 1000-p = 700+ 2p or 1000-700 = 2p + p or 300 = 3p or 100 = p Putting p = 100 in any equation, we get q = 1000-p = 1000-100 = 900. So equilibrium quantity is 900. |
