Use the following general linear supply function to answer the question:
Qs = 40 + 6P - 8PI + 10F
Where Qs is the quantity supplied of the good, P is the value of good, PI is the value of an input, and F is the number of companies manufacturing the good.
If PI = $20 and F = 60 what is the equation of the supply function?

Qs = 400 + 6P
Qs = 40 + 8P
P = 480 + 6Qs
Qs = 480 + 6P
None of the above.

Use the following general linear supply function to answer this question:
Qs = 40 + 6P - 8PI + 10F
If PI = $20, F = 60, and the demand function is Qd = 600 - 6P the equilibrium price and quantity are, respectively,
P = $10 and Q = 640
P = $8 and Q = 326
P = $10 and Q = 540
P = $8 and Q = 640
None of the above

At the current price there is excess demand, or a shortage, of 150 units.
Both b and c.
