Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets: Q=D(p)=1993−17p Let the market supply of widgets be given by: Q=S(p)=−5+10p where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price. What is the unmet demand at equilibrium?

Step 1
Step 1: Set the market demand equal to the market supply to find the equilibrium price: \(1993 - 17p = -5 + 10p\) Show more…

Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets: Q = D(p) = 1417 - 14p, p > 0. Let the market supply of widgets be given by: Q = S(p) = -3 + 6p, p > 0, where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price. What is the equilibrium price? What is the equilibrium quantity? What is the consumer surplus at equilibrium? What is the producer surplus at equilibrium? What is the unmet demand at equilibrium?
