There are two Markets:
Both Market A (Athletes) and Market B (Boats) have the same demand curve of Qd = 400 - 20 Pd where Pd is the price consumers pay and Qd is the quantity demanded.
Market A has a supply curve of Qsa = 100 + 10Psa where Ps is the price received by suppliers and Qs is the quantity supplied.
Market B has a supply curve of Qsb = -200 + 40Psb where Ps is the price received by suppliers and Qs is the quantity supplied.
Both markets have an equilibrium price of 10 and quantity of 200. Therefore both markets are of the same size.
