L. At a price of $2.28 per bushel, the supply of barley is 7, 500 million bushels and
the demand is 7,900 million bushels. At a price of $2.37 per bushel, the supply
of barley is 7,900 million bushels and the demand is 7, 800 million bushels.
(A) Find a price-supply equation of the form p ma+ b.

QUESTION 7
The demand for rubber erasers consists of two components. The first component is the demand for rubber erasers by art students. This demand is given by QA = 19,500 -
325P. The second component is the demand for rubber erasers by all others. This demand is given by Qo = 32,000 - 2,000P.
(a) What is the total quantity demanded of rubber erasers if the price of an eraser is:
(i) $10
(ii) $15
(iii) $20
(iv) $30
(v) $70
(b) Assume that the supply of rubber erasers is given by Qs = 14,000+ 175P.
(i) Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.
(ii) Calculate the total consumer surplus. [Hint: It may be easier if you calculate the consumer surplus for art students and the consumer surplus for all others
separately, and then add them up.]
(c) Assume that the supply of rubber erasers is given by Qs = 8,390 + 180P. Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.

How shifts in demand and supply affect equilibrium Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has dropped considerably. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.arrow_forward
