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.
