Solution

To find the new equilibrium price and quantity after the subsidy, we first need to adjust the supply curve for the subsidy. The subsidy effectively reduces the cost of production, so it shifts the supply curve to the right.

The new supply equation becomes Qs = -1000 + 10(p + 80), which simplifies to Qs = -1000 + 10p + 800, or Qs = -200 + 10p.

Next, we set the quantity demanded equal to the quantity supplied to find the equilibrium:

1500 - 5p = -200 + 10p 1700 = 15p p = 1700 / 15 p = 113.33

Substitute p = 113.33 into either the demand or supply equation to find the equilibrium quantity. Using the demand equation:

Qd = 1500 - 5(113.33) Qd = 1500 - 566.65 Qd = 933.35

So, the new equilibrium price is 113.33 and the new equilibrium quantity is 933.35. This option is not listed in the given choices.
