Suppose that the demand curve for corn has the equation p = -0.29q+6.265 and the supply curve for corn has the equation p = 0.2q +2.1, where p is the price per bushel in dollars and q is the
quantity (demanded or produced) in billions of bushels.
(a) Find the quantities supplied and demanded when the price of corn is $3.40 per bushel.
(b) Determine the quantity of corn that will be produced and the price at which it will sell.

The demand for butter is given by 120-4pd and the supply is 2ps-30, where pd and ps are, respectively the price paid by demanders and the price received by suppliers.
a: Draw the demand and supply functions.
b: Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph.
