2. The domestic supply and demand curves for washing machines are as follows: Supply: P= 2800+5Q Demand: P=4300-50 where P is the price in dollars and the Q is the quantity in millions. The U.S. is a small producer in the world washing machine market. Where the current price (which will not be affected by anything we do) is $ 3,000. Congress is considering a tariff of $500. A. Calculate and graph all points for the domestic market for washing...
