Consider the following general demand and supply functions:
d =320010P +0.0524Pr
s =100+20P 10PI +20F
where QD and QS are quantities demanded and supplied, respectively, P is price of the good, M is household income, PR is price of a related good, PI is price of an important input, and F is number of firms in the industry.
