Solution

Without the accompanying figure, it's impossible to accurately answer these questions. However, I can explain how you would generally approach this problem:

  1. Is there a surplus or shortage when the price is 38?Toanswerthis,youwouldneedtocomparethequantitydemandedandthequantitysuppliedatapriceof38? To answer this, you would need to compare the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied at a price of 38. If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded, there is a surplus. If the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied, there is a shortage.

  2. If the price is 38,whatquantityisdemanded?Tofindthis,youwouldneedtolookatthedemandfunctionatapriceof38, what quantity is demanded? To find this, you would need to look at the demand function at a price of 38.

  3. How many units is the surplus or shortage? The surplus or shortage is the difference between the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded. If there is a surplus, subtract the quantity demanded from the quantity supplied. If there is a shortage, subtract the quantity supplied from the quantity demanded.

  4. If the price is 38whatquantityissupplied?Tofindthis,youwouldneedtolookatthesupplyfunctionatapriceof38 what quantity is supplied? To find this, you would need to look at the supply function at a price of 38.

Without the specific supply and demand functions or the accompanying figure, it's impossible to give specific answers to these questions.
