Linear demand equation is: Q=a−bP
Elasticity of demand =dPdQ×QP=−b×QP
When
P=30Q=23.84−0.076=−b×23.8430b=0.06
From demand function,
23.84=a−(0.06×30)23.84=a−1.8a=25.64
Linear demand equation: Q=25.64−0.06P
Linear supply equation: Q=c+dP
Elasticity of supply =dPdQ×QP=d×QP
When
P=30Q=23.840.088=d×23.8430b=0.07
From supply function,
23.84=c+(0.07×30)23.84=c+2.1c=21.74
Linear demand equation: Q=21.74+0.07P
