After a late-winter freeze in Florida, the supply curve for early-season blueberries was
estimated as: QS = - 500 + 5 000 P.The demand curve for blueberries is:
QD = 19 000 – 1 500 P
P: measured in dollars, Q: measured in pints
1) Before the freeze, the equilibrium price was $0.50 per pint. Find the equilibrium P and Q after the freeze
2) There is a price ceiling in place of $1.00 per pint. If there is no illegal trading, how many pints of blueberries will be sold?

At equilibrium:
