At a price of $4.69 per pound, the supply for cherries is 16,210 pounds, and the demand is 10,280 pounds. When the price drops to $4.22 per pound, the supply decreases to 10,940 pounds and the demand increases to 12,746 pounds. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. What is the equilibrium quantity? Round to the nearest pound. pounds.

Question 20 The following diagram illustrates the impact of an increase in demand. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? R12 R11 R10 900 1000 1 100 1 200 1300 a) Before the increase in demand, the equilibrium price is R10 and the equilibrium quantity is 900. b) Owing to an increase in demand, the demand curve shifts from D to D1. At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, the quantity demanded is 1 200 and the quantity supplied is 1 100. c) At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, there is an excess demand. d) A new equilibrium position is formed after the increase in demand at an equilibrium price of R12 and an equilibrium quantity of 1 100.
