INSTRUCTIONS: Using the table below , solve for the answers of the given
questions. All answers with decimal form should be rounded to second decimal
places. All final answers should be placed in a box.

1. Formulate the demand function.


2. Formulate the supply function.
3. Compute for equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.

Price Quantity Quantity


45 500 700
50 600 650
55 700 600
60 800 550
65 900 500

ANSWERS:
1. DEMAND FUNCTION
1.) Step A
Price(x) Quantity  x2 xy
demanded(y)
45 700 2025 31,500
50 650 2500 32,500
55 600 3025 33,000
60 550 3600 33,000
65 500 4225 32,500
Σx= 275 Σy= 3,000 Σx2 =15,375 Σxy=162,500

Step B
Q= 275÷ 5 = 55 N= 5
Equation 1: Na+ Σxb = Σy
= 5a+275b=3,000

Equation 2: Σxa+ Σx2 b= Σxy


=275a+15,375b=162,500

Equation 3: Q (Na+ Σxb = Σy)


= 55(5a+275b=3,000)
=275a+15,125b=165,000

Step C
b= 275a+15,375b=162,500
275a+15,125b=165,000
250b=-2500
250
b= -10
a= 5a+275b=3,000
5a+275(-10)=3,000
5a-2750=3,000
5a=3000+2750
5a=5750
5
a=1,150
Qd=1150-10p
For every 10 units increase in Quantity demanded, there is a peso decrease in price;
For every 10 units decrease in Quantity demanded, there is a peso increase in price.

2. SUPPLY FUNCTION
ANSWERS:
2.) Step A
Price(x) Quantity  x2 xy
supplied(y)
45 500 2025 22,500
50 600 2500 30,000
55 700 3025 38,500
60 800 3600 48,000
65 900 4225 58,500
Σx= 275 Σy=3,500 Σx2 =15,375 Σxy=197,500

Step B
Q= 275÷ 5 = 55 N= 5
Equation 1: Na+ Σxb = Σy
5a+275b=3500
Equation 2: Σxa+ Σx2 b= Σxy
275a+15375b=197500

Equation 3: Q (Na+ Σxb = Σy)


55(5a+275b=3500)
= 275a+15,125b=192,500

Step C
b= 275a+15375b=197,500
275a+15,125b=192,500
250b=5000
250
b=20
a= 5a+275b=3500
5a+275(20)=3500
5a+5,500=3500
5a=3500-5500
5a= -2,000
5
a= -400
Step D
Qs=a+bp
Qs= -400+20p

For every 20 units increase in Quantity supplied, there is a peso increase in price;
For every 20 units decrease in Quantity supplied, there is a peso decrease in price.

3. Equilibrium price and Equilibrium quantity


Qd=1150-10p
Qs= -400+20p
Market equilibrium price computation

Qd=Qs

1150-10p=-400+20p
-10p-20p= -400-1150
-30= -1550
-30
p= 51.67
Qd= 1150-10p
1150-10(51.67)
1150-516.7
Qd=633.33

Qs=-400+20p
-400+20(51.67)
-400+1033.4
Qs= 633.4
