questions. All answers with decimal form should be rounded to second decimal
places. All final answers should be placed in a box.
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
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
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.
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
