Mathematical Representation of Supply Supply function: Q=S (P) Linear Form Ex Q= 88+40P Movement Along Supply Curve P 1 = 4 → Q= 248 Q = 88+40(4) 88+ Q= 248 P 2 = 10 → Q= Q= 88+40(10) Q= 488 P↑ → Qs↑, Law of Supply
Mathematics of Market Equilibrium Recall: Equilibrium occurs where QS = QD EX: Given demand → Q = 286-20p Supply → Q = 88+40p To find equilibrium → QS= QD 286-20p = 88+40p 198 = 60p 3.3 = p p= $3.30 → Equilibrium price of pork/kg. We can find the equilibrium quantity by substituting into the demand or supply equation. If we use demand: Q* = 286-20p* Q* = 286-20(3.30) Q* = 220 → Equilibrium quantity
