Question: Suppose that the market demand function for ice cream (IC) is given by Qd IC = 12000-2000P IC and the market supply function for ice

Suppose that the market demand function for ice cream (IC) is given by QdIC= 12000-2000PIC and the market supply function for ice cream is given by QsIC= 2000PIC where Q = ice cream cones per week, P is the price (in dollars) of one ice cream cone.

  1. Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.
  2. Find the market demand and supply schedules of ice cream when P = $0,1,2,3,4,5,6.
  3. Graph, on one set of axes, the market demand and supply curves for ice cream and show the equilibrium point.
