Major Assignment 1) a) Demand Function: Quantity Demanded (Qd) = a + b* Price (P) Supply Function: Quantity Supplied (Qs) = a + b* Price (P) Where: a = constant b = the change in quantity as a result to the change in price. Demand Function: Quantity Demanded (Qd) = a + b* Price (P) b = (420 – 350) / (20 – 25) = 70 / -5 = -14 Using: P = 25‚ Qd = 350 350 = a – 14 * (25) 350 = a – 350 Therefore a = 700 and the demand function would be: Qd = 700 – 14 * P Supply Function:
