Answer 1

The equilibrium price is where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded.

From the table:

• At $10, quantity supplied is 1,000 and quantity demanded is 2,500. (Not in equilibrium)
• At $20, quantity supplied is 2,000 and quantity demanded is 2,000. (Equilibrium)
• At $30, quantity supplied is 3,000 and quantity demanded is 1,500. (Not in equilibrium)
• At $40, quantity supplied is 4,000 and quantity demanded is 1,000. (Not in equilibrium)

Therefore, the equilibrium price for this market is $20.
