The demand function for a good is given by the equation:

P = 4000 - 0.5Q

i) Plot the demand function


ii) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Q = 4500 to Q = 1500 at intervals of 50
iii) State the value of Q for which this product has unit elastic
iv) State the range of values for Q for which demand is elastic and inelastic.

For the same product, the supply function is given by the equation:

P = 200 + 0.33Q

v) Find the equilibrium point.


vi) Perform the graphical analysis and interpret it.
