Question

At the price of $5 per pack of batteries, Duracell sells 10,000 packs of batteries and Energizer sells 15,000 packs of batteries. When the price rises to $7.50, Duracell sells 12,000 packs of batteries and Energizer sells 16,000 packs of batteries. What is the market supply at $7.50? Choose one: A. 16,000 B. 25,000 C. 4,000 D. 12,000 E. 28,000

Answer 1

28,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer you have to assume perfect competition scenario, since in this case supply = demand. In this case:

At $7,5

Energizer sells 16,000 => Supply Energizer = 16,000

Duracell sells 12,000 => Supply Duracell = 12,000

Total Supply = 16,000+12,000
