The provided demand curve is a downward sloping demand curve but it is not known whether it is inelastic or elastic. Assume that the provided demand curve may have either degree of elasticity. Draw both types of demand curve (in separate diagrams) and compare the slope of the demand curves.
A firm may sacrifice short-run profits for long-run growth and profitability.

Suppose there are 100 identical self-service gasoline stations in the city selling the same types of gasoline. Total market demand (QD) and total market supply (Qs) functions for gasoline in the market are as follows:
QD = 60,000 – 25,000P
Qs= 25,000P
where P is expressed in $ per litre.
