The demand functions of two related commodities are given by Q1 = 360 – 6P1 + P2, Q2 = 600 + 7P1 – 12P2, where P1 and P2 are the corresponding prices of the two commodities. i. Analyse whether the two commodities act as substitutes or complements in the market.

The demand functions for each of two goods depend on the prices of the goods, $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}: Q_{1}=15-3 p_{1}+p_{2}$ and $Q_{2}=6-2 p_{2}+p_{1}$ However, each supply curve depends on only its own price: $Q_{1}=2+p_{1}$ and $Q_{2}=1+p_{2} .$ Solve for the equilibrium: $p_{1}, p_{2}, Q_{1},$ and $Q_{2} .$ (Hint: See Solved Problem $10.1 .) \mathbf{A}$

The demand functions for two products are given below. p1, p2, q1, and q2 are the prices (in dollars) and quantities for products 1 and 2. q1 = 1600 - 5p1 - 5p2 q2 = 1400 - 5p1 - 3p2 What is the quantity demanded for each when the price for product 1 is $40 per item and the price for product 2 is $20 per item? Demand for product 1: Demand for product 2: Are these two products complementary goods or substitute goods? Select an answer
