Stutz Department Store will buy 10 pairs of sunglasses if the price is $93 per pair and 30 pairs if the price is $43. The suppli

er of the sunglasses is willing to provide 35 pairs if the price is $98 per pair but only 5 pairs if the price is $38. Assuming that the supply and demand functions for the sunglasses are linear, find the market equilibrium point.

Answer:

$68 for 20 pairs

Explanation:

Demand

$93 per pair for 10 pairs

$43 per pair for 30 pairs

Supply

$98 per pair for 35 pairs

$38 per pair for 5 pairs

Let x denotes price and y denotes a pair of sunglasses

x1, y1 = (93, 10)

x2, y2 = (43, 30)

x3 y3 = (98, 35)

x4, y4 = (38, 5)

Slope intercept form is given by

y = mx + b

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = 30 - 10/43 - 93 = 20/-50 = -0.4

Now put any one x, y point from demand into slope equation to find b

30 = -0.4(43) + b

30 = -17.2 + b

b = 47.2

so the demand equation becomes

y = -0.4x + 47.2  eq. 1

Now for the supply equation

m = y4 - y3/x4 - x3 = 5 - 35/38 -98 = -30/-60 = 0.5

Now put any one x, y point from supply into slope equation to find b

5 = 0.5(38) + b

5 = 19 + b

b = -14

so the supply equation becomes

y = 0.5x - 14  eq. 2

Now we want to find the intersection of these two lines so that we can get the equilibrium point

-0.4x + 47.2 = 0.5x - 14

-0.4x - 0.5x + 47.2 + 14 = 0

-0.9x + 61.2 = 0

0.9x = 61.2

x = 61.2/0.9

x = 68

Now put it into eq. 1 or eq. 2

y = 0.5(68) - 14

y = 34 - 14

y = 20

So at market equilibrium the price of sunglasses is $68 for 20 pairs.

The best way for you to negotiate an increase in starting salary is to research similar jobs, note what their starting pay is, and provide the list to your boss. Most jobs will match what other people are paying because they need employees. The best way to lose your job right off the bat is to tell your boss that he is a cheapskate. I do not advise this.
