Use the information in the table to answer the questions that follows: Price per gallon Quantity of gallons demanded Quantity of gallons Supplied 20 5000 1000 25 4000 2000 30 3000 3000 35 2000 4000 40 1000 5000 Use the information in the table to sketch the demand and supply curve on the same axis. (NOTE: Graph sheet is not needed). What is the equilibrium price and quantity? Which of the prices would cause shortages? Calculate the shortages that may occur at those prices. Suppose the Government of Ghana imposes a minimum price legislation which led to surpluses in the oil market, discuss two ways that can be use to address or mitigate the surpluses in the market. Suppose the price of Ghana Nut Oil increase from 20 to 25, calculate the price elasticity of demand and supply of Ghana Nut Oil. Demand and Supply which one is more…arrow_forward
