(a) Consider a demand curve of the form QD = -2P + 20 where QD is the quantity demand of a good and P is the price of the good. Also consider a supply curve of the form QS = 2P - 4 where QS is the quantity supplied. Graph these curves. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect? (b) Now suppose at each price individuals demand four more units of output‚ i.e. the demand curve shifts to QD’ = - 2 P + 24‚ Graph this new curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand
