Answer all questions, a through f. On questions c, d, e and f show your math.

Suppose that the demand and supply functions for good X are as follows:

QD = 75 + (.004)*M - 4*P
QS = -43 - (.4)*(PI) + 3*P

a. Is this good a normal good or an inferior good? How do we know?

b. Is the sign correct on the coefficient in front of PI? Explain why or why not?

Now...

Assume that M = 50,000 and PI = 80.

d. If a price of $40 occurs in the market, rather than the equilibrium price, would we have a surplus or a shortage? Of how many units?
