INSTRUCTIONS (Questions need to be worked on MS Excel. Remember, price goes on the y-axis and quantity on the x-axis. Students need to show full calculations and how answers were derived for a chance at full credit. Use of Excel formulas or Google Sheets are required
Apple collected information on the demand and supply for the air pods in California where the quantities of air pods are measured in thousands.
Price
a) Graph the demand and supply curve for air pods. Show the equilibrium price and quantity on the graph? What are the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? Remember, price goes on the y-axis and quantity on the x-axis. (15points)
b) Add another column and show the surplus and shortage numbers of air pods at all prices (5points)
c) Does this table follow the law of demand and supply? Explain.(5points)
2. Consider the supply and demand schedules below to answer the questions that follow:
