Question
**The market for burritos in a college town is shown to the right. At a price of $7, how much excess demand is there?**

**Answer Options:**
- A. 0; there is excess supply at $7.
- B. 20 units
- C. 30 units
- D. 10 units

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph displays the supply and demand curves for burritos in a college town. 

- The blue line (denoted as D) represents the demand curve.
- The red line (denoted as S) represents the supply curve.

The x-axis shows the Quantity of burritos, ranging from 0 to 160 units. The y-axis shows the Price of burritos in dollars, ranging from $0 to $16.

Key points on the graph:
- A dotted vertical line at 40 units intersects the demand curve at $10 and the supply curve just slightly above $5.
- A dotted vertical line at 60 units intersects both the demand and supply curves at approximately $7 and $8 respectively.
- At $7 on the price axis, the quantity demanded is about 60 units while the quantity supplied is about 40 units.

This shows an excess demand of (60 units - 40 units) = 20 units at the price of $7.

The correct answer is:
- B. 20 units
