Problem 16
Supply, q=(1/4)p
Demand=q=6-(1/2)p
In equilibrium, quantity demanded=quantity supplied
6-(1/2)p=(1/4)p
(3/4)p=6
p*=(6*4)/3=$8
Quantity demanded=6-(1/2)*p=6-(1/2)*8=2
Quantity supplied=1/4p=1/4*8=2
Equilibrium quantity=q*=2
Correct option is
A p*=$8 and q*=2
Problem 17
At a price floor of $10
Quantity demanded=6-(1/2)*p=6-(1/2)*10=1
Quantity supplied=1/4p=1/4*10=2.50
Surplus=Estimated quantity supplied-Estimated quantity demanded=2.50-1=1.50
Correct Option is
B 1.5
