3. Yell-O Yew-Boats, Ltd. produces a popular brand of pointy birds called Blue
Meanies. Consider the demand and supply equations for Blue Meanies:

QD x = 150-2Px+0.001I+1.5Py

QSX = 60+4Px-2.5W

Where Qx = monthly per-family consumption of Blue Meanies

 Px = price per unit of Blue Meanies


 I = median annual per-family income = $25,000
 Py = price per unit of Apple Bonkers = $5.00
 W = hourly per-worker wage rate = $8.60
