Suppose in a two commodity market model, the supply Q1, Qs2 and demand Q1, Qd2 functions are given as Qd=10-2P+P₂, Qaz=15+P₁-P₂, Q₁₁ = −2+3P,₁, Qs2 =−1+2P₂. (a) Determine the relationship between these two commodities, do they compete or are they complement of each other by giving reason(s). Plot the supply-demand curves of the model. (b) Find the equilibrium values of prices and quantities of the commodities.
