2. The demand and supply functions of a gcod are given by P = -Qd + 125, 2P = 3Qs + 30. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity. Determine ako the effect on the market equilibrium if the govemment decides to impose a fixed tax of GHC5 on each good Who pays the tax? (p = 81, q = 44, then p = 83, q = 42) 3. If fixed costs are 18, variable costs per unit are 4, and the demand function is P = 24 - 2Q.
