Equilibrium Price At the start of December 2001 , the retail price of a $25 \mathrm{~kg}$ bag of cornmeal was $\$ 10$ in Zambia, while by the end of the month, the price had fallen to $\$ 6 .{ }^{11}$ The result was that one retailer reported an increase in sales from 3 bags/ day to 5 bags/day. Assume that the retailer is prepared to sell 18 bags/day at $\$ 8$ and 12 bags/day at $\$ 6$. Obtain linear demand and supply equations, and hence compute the retailer's equilibrium price.

The following tables give price-demand and price-supply data for the sale of soybeans at a grain market, where $x$ is the number of bushels of soybeans (in thousands of bushels) and $p$ is the price per bushel (in dollars): $$ \begin{array}{cccc} \hline \multicolumn{2}{c} {\text { Price-Demand }} & \multicolumn{2}{c} {\text { Price-Supply }} \\ x & p=D(x) & x & p=S(x) \\ 0 & 6.70 & 0 & 6.43 \\ 10 & 6.59 & 10 & 6.45 \\ 20 & 6.52 & 20 & 6.48 \\ 30 & 6.47 & 30 & 6.53 \\ 40 & 6.45 & 40 & 6.62 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ Use quadratic regression to model the price-demand data and linear regression to model the price-supply data. (A) Find the equilibrium quantity (to three decimal places) and equilibrium price (to the nearest cent). (B) Use a numerical integration routine to find the consumers' surplus and producers' surplus at the equilibrium price level.
