This problem involves using supply and demand equations. Suppose the market is defined by
Demand: Q = 40 - 3P
Supply: Q = 8 + 1PGiven these equations, you must find the equilibrium in the market.
Then, you must find the surplus that exists in the market when the actual price is equal to P = 10.
1. Equilibrium Price =
2. Equilibrium Quantity =
3. Surplus that exists at Price = 10. Surplus =
