The demand and supply functions of commodity x are given as follows: Qd = 20- 2p, Qs = 6p – 12 where p = price, Qd = quantity demanded and Qs = quantity supplied. Determine the equilibrium price
-
N4
- N8
- N2
- N10
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
Qd = 20 - 2pQs = 6p - 12
Therefore, equilibrium price is Qd = Qs
20 - 2p = 6p-12
20 + 12 = 6p+2p
32 = 8p
Equilibrium price = 32/8= 4
Equilibrium price = N4
