Because the manufacturer is also the entity selling the good or service, prices tend to be lower in a direct distribution channel. Indirect channels, on the other hand, generally see higher prices because of the number of intermediaries involved. The more there are, the higher the price.

Answer:
a) Qs = 50 + 20p - 7ps
= 50 + 20p - 7×(2)
= 50 + 20p - 14
= 36 + 20p
At equilibrium,
=
So, 150 - 10p + 5
= 36 + 20p
So, 20p + 10p = 30p
= 150 - 36 + 5
= 114 + 5
So, p = (114/30) + (5/30)
= 3.8 + 0.17
Thus,
= 3.8 + 0.17
Q = 36 + 20p
= 36 + 20(3.8 + 0.17
)
= 36 + 76 + 3.4
= 112 + 3.4
Thus,
= 112 + 3.4
b)
= 3.8 + 0.17
= 3.8 + 0.17×(5)
= 3.8 + .85
= 4.65
= 112 + 3.4
= 112 + 3.4(5)
= 112 + 17
= 129
c) Qd = 150 - 10p + 5pb = 150 - 10(2.5) + 5(5) = 150 - 25 + 25 = 150
Qs = 36 + 20p = 36 + 20(2.5) = 36 + 50 = 86
Thus, there is excess demand as

d) New
= 180 - 10p + 5
= 180 - 10p + 5×(5)
= 180 - 10p + 25
= 205 - 10p
Now, new
=
gives,
205 - 10p = 36 + 20p
So, 20p + 10p = 205 - 36
So, 30p = 169
So, p = 169÷30
So,
= 5.63
Q = 205 - 10p = 205 - 10×(5.63) = 205 - 56.3 = 148.7
So,
= 148.7
