Eco 302 Intermediate Microeconomics Homework it 2 (40 points) 1. (8 points) The market demand and supply functions for dry cleaning services are given by the following equations. (25 = 500 -1DDP 0:: = 25" where P is the price ofa shirt dry cleaned in Salem and Q is the number of shirts demanded and supplied. a. Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the dry cleaning market. b. Due to a newly invented detergent spray which cleans as good as dry cieaning, demand for dry cleaning services declined by 25%. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity in the dry cleaning market. 2. (16 points) The market demand and supply functions for beer by the pack are given by the following equations. Qd = 750 50F + 0.25I Q3 = 900 + SOP 400PW where P is the price of a pack of beer, I is the average income of a consumer in Salem and PW is the price of wheat {major input in beer production). a.
