Solution
Quantity demanded by:
Quantity supplied by
a) If the worldwide price is $30000, the demand of worldwide market is 80 units and supply of worldwide market be 35 units. Therefore demand is more than supply which creates a shortage of (80-35)=45 units
b) If the worldwide price is $50000, the demand of worldwide market is 35 units and supply of worldwide market be 110 units. Therefore supply is more than demand which creates a surplus of (110-35)=75 units.
c) Equilibrium has occurred where supply=demand at a worldwide price. At $40000, Worldwide demand=worldwide supply=50 units. So at $40000 equilibrium is occurred.
