You are given the following information:

Let Qs = -600 + 4.5P and Qd = 26,000 - 2.5P be the supply and demand relationships respectively for a competitive market.

1. Calculate the exact quantity demanded and the exact quantity supplied at a price of $1,000. If there is a surplus or shortage, specify which and calculate its exact value. (Note: quantity is defined in 1,000's of units. Make sure to adjust your answer to account for this.)
2. 
   
3. Derive the value of the slope for the demand curve.
4. 
   
5. Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity. Assume the price is expressed in dollars and the quantity is defined in 1,000's of units. (Note: since quantity is defined in 1,000's of units, you need to adjust your answer to account for this.)
