Question

The seeds model makes sense in normal economic times. In weak or strong economies, your demand curve may change. Assume that the demand curve, more generally, is given by 𝑞𝑑(𝑝)=𝑎(300−25𝑝) and the supply curve is given by 𝑞𝑠(𝑝)=𝑎(50𝑝) where a is a parameter that indicates the strength of the overall economy. In a stronger than normal economy (a higher equilibrium quantity of seed packets) which sentence best describes the parameter a?
