Solution

  1. Shortage or Surplus:

    • At Kshs 26.60: The quantity supplied (1500) is greater than the quantity demanded (525). This means there is a surplus.
    • At Kshs 23.80: The quantity supplied (550) is less than the quantity demanded (1200). This means there is a shortage.
  2. Market Equilibrium:

    • The market equilibrium is the point where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. Looking at the data, this does not occur at any of the given price points. Therefore, we cannot determine the market equilibrium with the given data.
  3. Graphing the Supply and Demand Curve:

    • Unfortunately, as a text-based AI, I am unable to create graphs. However, I can explain how to do it. On the y-axis, you would have price per kilo, and on the x-axis, you would have quantity. You would then plot the points given in the data for both supply and demand. The supply curve would be upward sloping (as price increases, quantity supplied increases), and the demand curve would be downward sloping (as price increases, quantity demanded decreases).
  4. Three Elements of the Supply and Demand Model:

    • Demand: This refers to the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given period of time.
    • Supply: This refers to the quantity of a good that producers are willing and able to sell at various prices during a given period of time.
    • Market Equilibrium: This is the point where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. At this point, there is no shortage or surplus, and the market is said to be in balance.
