The current supply and demand of small carsare: Qs = −(10/9) + (1/9)P; Qd = 100 − P, where Q is in millions ofcars and P is in hundreds of dollars.Now, suppose that the government is considering two alternative plansfor encouraging small car sales. Under Plan A, every car manufacturerwill receive a $500 rebate from the government for each car sold. Underplan B, every purchaser of a small car will receive a $500 rebate fromthe government.Which of the plan is more effective in encouraging sales?
