Question

3.3. Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. Scenario A farmer, Kgabo Phaka, is known for his high-quality cattle and he is one of the primary suppliers of steaks and fillets to the Woolworths stores in his area. According to Kgabo, the secret to great steaks is happy cattle. His cattle are free-range cattle, as they enjoy their lives in the field. The field provides plenty of food rich in nutrients for his cattle to graze on daily. Kgabo explains that a devastating fire destroyed most of his field, leaving his cattle without food. The farmer is now forced to divert resources to buying food to feed his cattle. The food does not provide the same nutrients as the field, therefore it takes much longer for the cattle to meet the requirements to be sold for meat. Kgabo explains that his ability to supply healthy cattle decreased significantly, leaving him with higher input costs and decreased revenue. Using a graph, illustrate and explain the devastating impact of the fire on the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for steaks and fillets to the Woolworths stores in his area. 3.4. Calculate the equilibrium quantity and price if the quantity supplied can be represented by the equation $Q_s = 30 + 0.4P$ and the quantity demanded can be represented by the equation $Q_D = 120 - 1.1P$. [Tip: Solve the value of $P$ first and then substitute this $P$-value in the calculation of the $Q$-value.]
