Question 61076: Please help. I am working on homework since 11am. I cannot get this last problem and I've tried everything I know how to do. It seems very simple but I cannot grasp it. Here goes:
Suppose that the quantity supplied S and the quantity demanded D of hot dogs at a baseball game are given by the following functions:
S(p)= -2000+3000p
D(p)= 10,000-1000p
where p is the price in dollars
a) find the equillibrium price (S=D) for hot dogs at the baseball game. what is the equillibrium quantity?
b) Determine the prices for which quantity demanded is less than quantity supplied
c) What do you think will eventually happen to the price of hot dogs if quantity demanded is less than quantity supplied- I know this answer from Economics is that the anwer is the hot dog prices will be lowered to increase denmand.
Please help me with A and B.
