The demand and supply curves for T-shirts in LA, Ca, are given by the following equations:
Q= 24,000 - 500P Q= 6,000 + 1,000P
where P is measured in $ and Q is the number of T-shirts sold per year.
a. Find the equilibrium price and quantity algebraically.
b. If the tourists decide they do not really like T-shirts that much, which of the following might be the new demand curve?
Q=21,000 - 500P Q=27,000 - 500P
Find the equilibrium price and quantity after the shift of the demand curve.
c. If, instead, 2 new stores that sell T-shirts open up in town, which of the following might be the new supply curve?
Q=4,000 + 1,000P Q=9,000 + 1,000P
Find the equilibrium price and quantity after the shift of the supply curve.
In addition,

Dear Student,
a. Equilibrium price.
Demand Curve is= 24000 - 500P and supply Curve is Q= 6000 +1000P that means using simple algebraic equations, 1500P = 18000. That means P= 12.The equilibrium price = 12. And quantity = 24000-500*12 = 18000. So equilibrium price = 12 and quantity = 18,000/-.
b. the demand will ...
