Lesson 2 Tutorial Discussion: Demand Curve
Semester 1, 2023/2024
Consider a market of five districts in Village Willy. The following quantity demanded and
supplied for McWilly burger set were collected from the five districts in 7 years. The price
increased each year from RM10 to RM16, consequently the quantity demanded in each
district changed every year. Based on the information provided in Tables 1 and 2, answer all
questions below.

Table 2
1. Calculate the market supply at each price level.
2. Calculate the market demand at each price level.
3. Find the market demand and supply functions.
4. Solve the two functions to obtain the market equilibrium price and quantity.
5. Plot the market supply and demand curves using price–quantity graph (2mm A4
graph paper). Determine the market equilibrium price and quantity.
