Task: Assume perfect competition. Yoland is a small country that takes world price of corn as given. Its domestic supply and demand for corn is given by the following:

Demand: D = 36-3P
Supply: S = 3p-9

1) Assume initially that Yoland does not open to trade. What is the autarky equilibrium price and quantity?
