ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that demand for a commodity is represented by the equation P=80−2Qd.P=80−2Qd. Supply is represented by the equation P=−20+2Qs,P=−20+2Qs, where Qd and Qs are quantity demanded and quantity supplied, respectively, and P is price.Instructions: Round your answer for price to 2 decimal places and enter your answer for quantity as a whole number. Using the equilibrium condition Qs = Qd, solve the equations to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.

Respond to the following matching statements with regard to the definition of supply. Match 1: The claim that other things being equal, the quantity supplied of a good increase when the price of that good rises. This matches the Law of Supply. Match 2: A graphical object showing the relationship between the price of a good and the amount that sellers are willing and able to supply at various prices. This matches the Supply curve. O Both matches are false O Match 2 is correct and Match 1 is false. O Both matches are correct. O Match 1 is correct and Match 2 is false. Next 1 Previous
