Market Disequilibrium Analysis
Consider a market for widgets with the following direct demand and supply functions: Demand: Q_d = 500 - 10P Supply: Q_s = 50 + 5P
If the current market price is fixed at P = $20, analyze the state of the market. Your analysis should:
- Calculate the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied at this price.
- Identify whether a surplus or a shortage exists and determine its magnitude.
- Briefly explain the economic pressure that would exist on the price if it were free to adjust.
