(dollars per pad) (mouse pads per week)
3.00 160 120
4.00 150 130
5.00 140 140
6.00 130 150

a. What is the market equilibrium?_______________
b. If the price of a mouse pad is $7.00, describe the situation in the market.

the quantity demanded of mouse pads by 20 a week at each
price._
d. Explain what happens to the market equilibrium in part a and how the
market adjusts if new voice-recognition software changes the quantity
demanded by 10 mouse pads a week at each price and at the same time the
cost of producing a mouse pad falls and changes the quantity supplied by
30 a week at each price.
Explanation / Answer
a) At a price of $5.00
b) At a price of $7.00, the quantity demanded is 120 pads and the quantity supplied is 160 pads. There is a surplus of 40 pads a week. the quantity supplied should be decreased so the surplus decreases.
c)At a price of $6.00
d) At a price of $4.00 . As new voice-recognition software changes the quantity
demanded by 10 mouse pads a week at each price , so at At a price of $4.00 , demand = 160
at the same time the the quantity supplied by changes by 30 a week , so supply = 130 + 30 = 160.
