The task I am struggling with: Determine the supply and demand function and the equilibrium point.Graph the results.Demand. If a given product is priced at $7 per unit, there is a demand for 4 units;if a given product is priced at $6 per unit, there is a demand for 8 units.Supply. If a given product is priced at $9 per unit, suppliers are willing to produce4 units; if a given product is priced at $23 per unit, suppliers are willing toproduce 12 units. Thank you very much.
The following are market demand and supply equations for a perfume product:QD = 70 − 4PQS = 10 + 2Pwhere P is, QD and QS are quantity demanded and supplied of perfume, respectively.A) What is the equilibrium price and quantity? Calculate using the arithmetic method.B) Draw demand and supply curves for prices £0, £4, £6 ... £16.C) Suppose consumers’ income increases and perfume is considered as a normal good.

Assuming an increase in Demant and decrease in Supply, which of the following statements is TRUE? The price of the good will decrease. The quantity of the good will definitely decrease. The price of this good will definitely increase. There will be a permanent shortage of this good. The new equilibrium quantity may increase, decrease, or stay the same. A surplus of this good will result from these changes in Supply and Demand. What new equiLibrium quantity will result depends on the relative magnitude of the changes and the shapes of the Demand and Supply curves. We cannot determine what will happen to price.
