Question

Suppose that the demand and supply for artificial Christmas trees is given by the functions below where p is the price of a tree in dollars and q is the quantity of trees that are demanded/supplied in hundreds. Find the price that gives the market equilibrium price and the number of trees that will be sold/bought at this price. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. The equilibrium price of $ gives a demand that Is equal to a supply of hundred trees (Simplify your answer. Type integers or simplified fractions.) The equilibrium price does not exist.

Explanation / Answer

At equilibrium, demand function= supply function

107.40-0.70q=0.01q^2 +5.16

q=72, q=-142

Ignoring negative value

So we get q=72

p=107.40-.70(72)=$57

And the price is $ 57
