Agroup of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 144 if the price is $250. the wholesaler is willing to supply 88 if the price is $225 and 168 if the price is $315. assuming the resulting supply and demand functions are linear, find the equilibrium point for the market.

The equilibrium point will be around 128 units, which will be supplied and demanded at an equilibrium price of $ 270.

Since a group of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $ 300 and 144 if the price is $ 250, while the wholesaler is willing to supply 88 if the price is $ 225 and 168 if the price is $ 315, assuming the resulting supply and demand functions are linear, to find the equilibrium point for the market the following calculation must be performed:

(300 - 250) / (144 - 104) = X 50/40 = X 1.25 = X Thus, the retailers will buy one more television for every $ 1.25 of sale. (315 - 225) / (168 - 88) = X 90/80 = X 1.125 = X In turn, the wholesaler will supply one less television for every $ 1,125 of discount. 116 x (300 - 12 x 1.25) = X 116 x 285 = X 33060 = X 116 x (225 + 28 x 1.125) = X 116 x 256.5 = X 29754 = X 126 x (300 - 22 x 1.25) = X 126 x 272.5 = X 34335 = X 126 x (225 + 38 x 1.125) = X 126 x 267.75 = X 33736.5 = X 128 x (300 - 24 x 1.25) = X 128 x 270 = X 34560 = X 128 x (225 + 40 x 1.125) = X 128 x 270 = X 34560 = X

Therefore, the equilibrium point will be around 128 units, which will be supplied and demanded at an equilibrium price of $ 270.

(275,122)

When the price will be $275, the quantity will be 122 televisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a group of retailers will buy 104 televisions from a wholesaler if the price is $300 and 144 if the price is $250.

As the quantity of televisions depends on price of televisions, so our demand curve will pass through points (300,104) and (250,144).

Let us find slope of demand line using slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , where,

$m =\text{Slope of line}$ ,

$y_2-y_1=\text{Difference between two y-coordinates}$ ,

$x_2-x_1=\text{Difference between same x-coordinates of two y-coordinates}$

Upon substituting coordinates of our given points in slope formula we will get,

$m=\frac{104-144}{300-250}$

$m=\frac{-40}{50}$

$m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Let us substitute $m=-\frac{4}{5}$ coordinates of point (250,144) in slope intercept form of equation ( y=mx+b ).

$144=-\frac{4}{5}*250+b$

144=-4*50+b

144=-200+b

144+200=-200+200+b

344=b

Upon substituting b=344 and $m=-\frac{4}{5}$ we will get equation of our demand line as:

$y=-\frac{4}{5}x+344$

Similarly we will find the equation of supply line using points (225,88) and (315,168).

$m=\frac{168-88}{315-225}$

$m=\frac{80}{90}$

$m=\frac{8}{9}$

Let us substitute $m=\frac{8}{9}$ and coordinates of point (225,88) in slope intercept form of equation ( y=mx+b ).

$88=\frac{8}{9}*225+b$

88=8*25+b

88=200+b

88-200=200-200+b

-112=b

Upon substituting b=-112 and $m=\frac{8}{9}$ we will get equation of our supply line as:

$y=\frac{8}{9}x-122$

Let us equate both lines to find the point where both lines intersect.

$-\frac{4}{5}x+344=\frac{8}{9}x-122$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x+344=\frac{8}{9}x-\frac{8}{9}x-122$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x+344=-122$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x+344-344=-122-344$

$-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{8}{9}x=-466$

Let us have a common denominator.

$-\frac{4*9}{5*9}x-\frac{8*5}{9*5}x=-466$

$-\frac{36}{45}x-\frac{40}{45}x=-466$

$\frac{-36-40}{45}x=-466$

$\frac{-76}{45}x=-466$

$\frac{-76}{45}*\frac{45}{-76}x=-466*\frac{45}{-76}$

$x=466*\frac{45}{76}$

x=6.1315789473684211*45

$x=275.9210526315789495\approx 275$

Let us substitute x=275 in any of our equation to solve for y.

$y=-\frac{4}{5}*275+344$

y=-4*55+344

y=-220+344

y=122

Therefore, the equilibrium point for the market will be (275,122).
