The Demand Function
Question: How many of good X will consumers purchase when 𝑃𝑋 = $200 per unit, 𝑃𝑌 =
$15 per unit, 𝑀 = $10,000 and 𝐴𝑋 = 2,000? Are goods X and Y substitutes or
complements? Is good X a normal or an inferior good?
Answer:
𝑄𝑋 𝑑 = 12,000 − 3 200 + 4 15 − 1 10,000 + 2 2,000 = 5,460 units. Goods X and
Y are substitutes. Good X is an inferior good.

Your research department estimates that the supply function for high
definition televisions (HDTVs)is given by:
𝑄𝑋 𝑠 = 2,000 + 3𝑃𝑋 − 4𝑃𝑡 − 1𝑃𝑊
Answer:
𝑄𝑋 𝑠 = 2,000 + 3 400 − 4(250) − 1 1,400 = 800 HDTVs.
