Solution

To find the equilibrium before tax, we need to set the quantity demanded (Qd) equal to the quantity supplied (Qs) and solve for the price (p).

The given demand and supply equations are:

Qd = 200 - 5p Qs = -60 + 5p

Setting Qd = Qs, we get:

200 - 5p = -60 + 5p

Solving this equation for p, we get:

200 + 60 = 5p + 5p 260 = 10p p = 260 / 10 p = 26

So, the equilibrium price before tax is Rs.26.

To find the equilibrium quantity, we substitute p = 26 into either the demand or supply equation. Let's use the demand equation:

Qd = 200 - 5*26 Qd = 200 - 130 Qd = 70

So, the equilibrium quantity before tax is 70 units.

Therefore, the equilibrium or balance before tax is a price of Rs.26 and a quantity of 70 units.
