If there are two consumers in a market and their individual demand functions are Qd1 = 15 – 2p and Qd2 = 25 – 3p. Find the Market demand function.

Answer»

The market demand function Qd = Qd1+ Qd2 

Therefore, 

Qd = 15 – 2p + 25 – 3p 

Qd = 40 – 5p 

When the price is ‘0’, quantity demanded will be 

Qd = 40 – 5p 

= 40 – 5(0) 

=40.

When the quantity demanded is ‘0’, the price will be 

0 = 40 – 5p 

40 – 5p = 0 

40 = 5p P 

\(\frac{40}{5}\)

= P = 8 

So the Market demand is ‘40’ and Market price is Rs.8.
