2. (11) Suppose the estimated supply function for avocados is given byQS = 58 + 15p -20pf , wherepf is the price of fertilizer. The estimated demand for avocados is given byQd = 144 -40p +20pt , wherept is the price of tomatoes per pound.

  1. (3) Solve for the initial equilibrium price and quantity of avocados if the price of fertilizer,pf,is equal to $0.40 per lb. and price of tomatoes,pt, is equal to $0.80 per lb.
