P the price of the good ps the price of a substitute pc


The demand for a particular product is given by 

Qdx= 1000 -20Px + 10PS - 10PC + 6M

The supply for that product is given by 

Qxs = -180 + 40Px -40C

P = the price of the good; PS = the price of a substitute; PC = the price of a complement; M = the consumer's income; C = the marginal cost of producing the good.

Suppose PS = 5; PC = 8, M = 25, C = 20.

-Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity in this market.

Now suppose that the price of a substitute rises to 11. 

-Calculate the new equilibrium price and quantity.

-How does the price and quantity compare to the original price and quantity?

-How does the increase in the price of the substitute affect the demand for the good?
