will provide 110 oranges per day while the demand for that will be just 60,so it means that we have surplus of 50 oranges per day. Because the equilibrium price is 5, so when the price increase the market provide larger amount of oranges to make more profit while the number of costumer decrease in order to the price. (it is in the previous diagram) (iv): In this case if the price set at 3, the market will provide just 80 oranges per day but the demand for orange will be 180 because the price is

This is the demand curve for the equation Q = 10,000 – 9000 (P). First we will have to do the calculation for the Quantity (Q) by adding the Price (P) into the equation and multiplying (P) by the equation. The equation is Q = 10,000- 9,000(P) so we will take (P) between the prices of $25 and $35. Then we will graph the curve which will be a demand curve slopping downward. The quantity at $25 was -215,000 and for $30 was -260,000 and for $35 was -305,000. This is why the demand curve slopes downward
