Demand and Supply Curves. The following relations


describe demand and supply consitions in the forest
products Industry

QD = 80,000 - 20,000P (Demand)


QS = -20,000 + 20,000P (Supply)

where Q is quantity measured in thousands of board


feet (one square foot of lumber, one
inch thick) and P is price in dollars.
Set up a spreadsheet to illustrate the effect of price (P), on the
quantity supplied (QS), quantity demanded (QD), and the resulting
surplus (+) or shortage (-) as represented by the difference between
the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded at various price
levels. Calculate the value for each respective variable based on a
range for P from $1.00 to $3.50 in increments of 10¢ (i.e., $1.00,
$1.10, $1.20, . . . $3.50).
