Demand and Supply Curves. The following relations describe monthly demand and supply relations for dry cleaning services in the metropolitan area: QD = 500,000 - 50,000P (Demand) QS = -100,000 + 100,000P (Supply) where Q is the quantity measured by the number of items dry cleaned per month and P is the average price in dollars. A. At what average price level would demand equal zero? B. At what average price level would supply equal zero? C. Calculate the equilibrium price/output combination. D. Draw the demand and supply curves.

6. Which of the following statements about demand curves is TRUE? I. The "Law of Demand" holds if a consumer's marginal benefit is lower at higher quantities consumed than it is at lower quantities consumed. II. If the consumer's marginal benefit is the same no matter what quantity is consumed, then her demand curve will be vertical. III. All else equal, the marginal benefit of consuming a normal good will be higher for richer consumers than for poorer consumers. a) III only. b) I and II only. c) I and III only. d) I only.

5. The variety of demand curves The following graph displays four demand curves (LL, MM, NN, and OO) that intersect at point A. Using the graph, complete the table that follows by indicating whether each statement is true or false. Statement Between points A and C, curve MM is inelastic. Between points A and B, curve LL is perfectly inelastic. Curve NN is more elastic between points A and D than curve MM is between points A and C.
