10. Assume that intersection between the first quantity (cell B3 in Excel) and the first

demand (cell B4 in Excel) is called as point A, the second quantity (cell C3 in 2

Excel) and the second demand (cell C4 in Excel) is called as point B, the third

quantity (cell D3 in Excel) and the third demand (cell D4 in Excel) is called as

point C, and so on. We will have 6 points from A to F. Assume that we have the

same fashion for intersection between quantity and supply so that the first

quantity (cell B3 in Excel) and the first supply (cell B5 in Excel) is called as point

I, the second quantity (cell C3 in Excel) and the second supply (cell C5 in Excel)

is called as point J, the third quantity (cell D3 in Excel) and the third supply (cell

D5 in Excel) is called as point K, and so on. We will have 6 points from I to N.
