Given the following Demand and Supply Equation:
Qd = 20 – 2P
Qs = -10 + 2P

a. Determine Qe and Pe.


b. Determine the Qd and Qs per price P and indicate if Surplus or Shortage.

Price (£) Qd Qs Surplus / Shortage


0 20 -10 Shortage
1 18 -8 Shortage
2 16 -6 Shortage
3 14 -4 Shortage
4 12 -2 Shortage
5 10 0 Shortage
6 8 2 Shortage
7 6 4 Shortage
7.5 5 5 Market Equilibrium
8 4 6 Surplus
9 2 8 Surplus
10 0 10 Surplus
11 -2 12 Surplus
12 -4 14 Surplus

a. Determine Qe and Pe.

Qd = 20 – 2P
Qs = -10 + 2p
Set demand equal to supply:
Qd = Qs
20 – 2P = -10 + 2P
20 + 10 = 4P
30 = 4P
Simplify the equation by dividing 4 on both sides:
30/4 = 4P/4
P= 7.5
Therefore, the equilibrium price is 7.5

To get the equilibrium quantity, you just have to substitute into the supply or demand
equation. But this time we’re going to substitute P=7.5 to the demand equation:
Qd = 20 – 2P

Solve the equation:


= 20 – 2(7.5)
= 20-15
Qe = 5

b. Determine the Qd and Qs per price P and indicate if Surplus or Shortage.
